'As a former performer of national tours and Europe, it's a subtle hope in every mentor and teacher that one of their students makes their dream come true. It's surreal and in perfect timing for Jacob. Jacob is my fourth Broadway soon-to-be alum, and he also deserves it,” said Pena.

The Lion King will welcome Austin Elle Fisher as “Young Nala” and Jacob Pham as “Young Simba” beginning Tuesday, August 20. Learn more about the new members of the cast here!

The show is directed by Orlando Pena, the artistic director of Ovations Dance Academy, who has over 30 years of experience in the dance industry. Pena says that he chose this musical because he loves the story, the characters, and the message of the show.

Ovations Dance Repertory Company's rendition of THE LION KING, JR. promises to be a dazzling display of talent, creativity, and passion. The young cast, aged 5 to 18, have honed their skills by practicing three times a week for two months, preparing to take the audience on a magical journey through the iconic story.

Led by a top-tiered cast, Tampa Rep’s ALL MY SONS finally gives us the production that this tremendous script deserves!

Arthur Miller's subliminal masterpiece in a Three-Act structure All My Sons is what Miller considered his last-ditch effort at writing a commercially successful play. You see Miller's first play The Man Who Had All the Luck failed miserably on Broadway lasting a total of four performances. Miller considered throwing in the towel prior to writing All My Sons.

Tampa Repertory Theatre has announced the cast for its production of Arthur Miller's Tony Award-winning drama All My Sons. The play will run June 1-18, 2023 at the USF Theatre Centre.
