Performance Intensive for Ages 14-19
Campy and Irreverent Sci-Fi Musical
Blast off on a routine flight and crash into the planet D'Illyria, where a sci-fi version of The Tempest – set to rock 'n' roll golden oldies – unfolds with glee! The planet is inhabited by a sinister scientist, Dr. Prospero; his delightful daughter Miranda; Ariel, a faithful robot on roller skates; and an uncontrollable monster, the product of Prospero's id, whose tentacles penetrate the space craft.
Return to the Forbidden Planet is a high-energy jukebox musical, packed with rock 'n' roll classics, including “Great Balls of Fire,” “Good Vibrations,” “Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood,” “Young Girl” and “Gloria.”

Great Learning Experience
Get ready for Red Curtain's Summer Stars. The popular program encourages teen actors to blossom as they learn the critical skills of teamwork, mutual respect, and self-discipline using the tools of musical theatre storytelling. The goal of Summer Stars is to allow teen students to participate in the production of a musical that's a bit beyond typical high school fare. Our program focuses on the process, not the product, while creating memorable performances and life-long friendships.
