The Falcon Theatre

Purpose

The SEED Falcon Theatre is designed for the promotion and development of the creative and performing arts.

Eligibility

All students are encouraged to audition regardless of their ability or experiences; this is because The SEED Falcon Theatre is designed to promote and develop the skill set of scholars and/or nurture their skills in the creative and performing arts in a welcoming and familial environment. Scholar-artists, as we call them, that may be reluctant to commit to The Falcon Theatre are encouraged and informed that everyone receives instruction and coaching from a resident faculty of artist-educators, regardless of their ability or years of experience to help them fine tune and hone their artistic abilities.

Congratulations Falcon Theatre Staff & Cast!

The meek floral assistant Seymour Krelborn stumbles across a new breed of plant he names "Audrey II" - after his coworker crush. This foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore promises unending fame and fortune to the down and out Krelborn as long as he keeps feeding it, BLOOD. Over time, though, Seymour discovers Audrey II's out of this world origins and intent towards global domination!

Be careful what you wish for, as Stephen Sondheim’s and James Lapine’s cockeyed fairy tale comes to life in this adaptation of their groundbreaking, Tony Award-winning musical. *Into the Woods Jr.* features all of your favorite characters — Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack (and his beanstalk) and the Witch — in this lyrically rich retelling of classic Brothers Grimm fables.
The musical centers on a baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King's festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a witch's curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse, and wind up changed forever.

Peter and his mischievous fairy sidekick, Tinkerbell, visit the nursery of the Darling children late one night and, with a sprinkle of pixie dust, begin a magical journey across the stars that none of them will ever forget. In the adventure of a lifetime, the travelers come face to face with a ticking crocodile, a fierce Indian tribe, a band of bungling pirates and, of course, the villainous Captain Hook.
