Snow White and the Prince

, , , ,

Snow White prepares for her birthday ball and dreams of finding her prince charming. When the star-crossed couple meets it’s love at first sight, but the vain and evil Queen – who fears the princess’ beauty – will stop at nothing to be the fairest of the land. With the help of a trusted friend, Snow White is forced to flee into the forest. This romantic and funny adventure has all your beloved characters and a few more beside: the raven-haired and resourceful Snow White, the very charming Prince Philippe, his kind and shrewd butler Rupert, the evil and devious Queen, a witty and slightly beleaguered Magical Mirror – and of course, there are the Dwarves – need we say more? A clever retelling of a classic tale – one for children and adults alike!

Directed by Sidney Valdez, the show runs June 10, 11, 17, 18 at 7:00pm with a matinee on June 18 at 1:00pm. They will take place at Lee Williams High School, 400 Grandview Ave. in Kingman, Arizona.

Disney Musicals in Schools

, , , , ,

Kingman Center for the Arts is excited to partner with Disney to run Disney Musicals in Schools in Kingman. We currently have three schools participating in the program, Hualapai Elementary, Black Mountain Elementary and KAOL Intermediate School. We are looking to add more schools to this list!

Newly selected schools will be given a 17-week musical theater residency during the upcoming 2022-2023 school year. Each school will receive performance rights, education support materials and guidance from two teaching artists. The program features a professional development focus, through which participating school teachers partner with the Kingman Center For The Arts teaching artists to learn how to produce, direct, choreograph and music direct, culminating in their first 30-minute Disney KIDS musical at their school.

If your school would like to participate in this program please email us at [email protected] to get an application and for further information. 

Disney Musicals in Schools was launched in 2010 in response to Disney Theatrical Production’s concern that under-resourced public elementary schools were not afforded equitable access to the arts. After successfully offering the program in New York City schools, Disney Theatrical Productions began partnering with organizations in other communities across the United States.

Disney KIDS musicals, created in partnership with Music Theater International (MTI), are 30-minute musicals designed for elementary school performers and have been adapted from the classic Disney films 101 Dalmatians, Aladdin, The Aristocats, The Jungle Book, The Lion King, and Winnie the Pooh and Frozen.

Using the unique world of musical theater, Disney Musicals in Schools helps to foster positive relationships between students, faculty, staff, parents, and the community.  Students and teachers work in teams, developing the wide spectrum of skills needed when producing a piece of musical theater, including: critical thinking, problem solving, ensemble building, communication, self-confidence, and interpersonal skills.

We are happy to have this program here in our city and look forward to many years of live theater in our community’s elementary schools.

BST Renovation Update

, ,

On January 13th, Kingman Center for the Arts hosted architect Michael Taylor and several engineers at the Beale Street Theater. The goal was to examine the property up close and review the current design plans to see if any modifications need to be made. After the onsite visit, we went to the ArtHub and hosted an online meeting with Stages, our staging consultant company, introducing them to the engineers who would be working on the project.

The day was a great success as everything seems to be lining up where it should be. Our goal is to have the final design by this coming April. We are excited to see this project moving forward and are confident that Kingman will love what comes out of it!
