Middle School Brings 'The Lion King' to the Stage This Week

Herrick Middle School's theater troupe will be putting on The Lion King Jr. this week, featuring more than 40 of their own students.

The show brings original music from the classic Disney film to life, along with costumes and a gripping storyline that's fit for all ages.

The school invites the entire community to come join them at their fall musical for shows through next weekend. The debut performance is at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 3, followed by a show at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 4 and a matinée at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 6.

All shows will take place at 4435 Middaugh Ave. in Downers Grove.

Adult tickets and tickets for those ages 6-18 are selling for $10 and tickets for children ages five and under are just $3. The Sunday show, however, is a community performance, so children under the age of five get in free with a donation of a non-perishable food item.

Individuals seeking tickets should complete the ticket order form available at the Herrick Middle School Office. Once completed, forms are to be returned to the school.

Tickets are sold as reserved seats. Families can reserve spots together by denoting “Family Tickets” and “General Public Tickets” on the order form. Tickets are sold on a first come first serve basis. All checks should be made out to the Herrick Activity Fund.

The free tickets in exchange for one non-perishable food donation will get you reserved floor mats in the front of the theater. All donations will be going toward the Downers Grove FISH food pantry.
