"We had such a wonderful response to last year's production of The Lion King (Jr.), it made sense to keep the Disney vibe going,” remarked Ian Mairs, Managing Director of Apex Theatre Studio. "For a certain generation of young people, this show's songs and dance numbers are ingrained in their hearts and minds on a cellular level thanks to countless viewings of the original television production," added David Loudermilk, the show's artistic director and choreographer.

The show features talented young performers between the ages of 11-18 from a wide range of area schools including Ponte Vedra High School, Landrum Middle School, Palmer Catholic School, Nease High School, Douglas Anderson School of the Arts and Lavilla School of the Arts. The approximate running time is two hours with one 15 minute intermission.

For young artists between the ages of 8-14, The Apex Theatre Studio Inc. is the only training program in Northeast Florida which provides a challenging and enriching training program specifically for the intermediate to advanced level theatre student through challenging interactions with an expert faculty, a range of programming and a commitment to excellence.
