thaws hearts

With a cast of heartwarming characters, Frozen JR. hits the stage at The Homestead Community Center from May 4-7 with three evening performances and one matinee.

During a nearly frigid week in January, more than 60 young residents and Scottsdale neighbors gathered in the halls of The Homestead to showcase their greatest singing, dancing and acting talents in front of a group of local theatre directors to audition for DC Ranch’s spring theatre production of Disney’s Frozen JR.

The directors had the painstaking task of creating the cast, and eventually chose 35 of these imaginative young people, ages 8-15. This production marks The Homestead Playhouse’s 29th production since the program began in 2006 to develop young performers and leaders through the transformative art of theatre.

Frozen JR. is an enchanting modern classic from Disney based on the 2018 Broadway musical, bringing Elsa, Anna and the magical land of Arendelle to life onstage. The cast members playing Anna and Elsa, Grace Mikalsky and Angelina Restuccia, have grown up together on The Homestead Playhouse stage. Their first show together was Seussical the Musical Jr. in 2018, when they were in 3rd and 4th grade, where Grace portrayed a Wickersham Brother and Angelina played Thing 2. Throughout the last 6 years, they have developed into amazing, passionate, reverent performers. Portraying their current roles, as Anna and Elsa, was no easy task. They spent hundreds of hours rehearsing and working one on one with the show’s musical director to hone their voices. These two actresses have grown so close in the process, becoming sisters on and off the stage. The entire ensemble has created a wonderful piece of theatre that will touch hundreds of attendees. In the closing number of the production, Elsa sings “The magic one is you.” This rings true about each performer on the stage. Their hard work, dedication and perseverance shines through every scene and song. The 40+ members of the cast and crew of Frozen JR. are so glad to share the heartwarming story with the residents of DC Ranch and surrounding communities. Come show your support of these wonderful young people and their months of dedication. You will leave feeling uplifted! Visit DCRanch.com for tickets.
