Disney’s Descendants

Blue Water Theatre Company is excited to announce auditions for our upcoming production of Disney’s Descendants!

It is present-day, and in the kingdom of Auradon, all of Disney’s beloved heroes and royalty are living happily ever after, safe from the terrifying villains and troublesome sidekicks they have banished to the magic-free Isle of the Lost. That is until Ben, the benevolent teenage son of Belle and King Adam (The Beast), offers a chance of redemption for the troublemaking offspring of the evilest villains. Mal, Evie, Jay and Carlos – the children of Maleficent, the Evil Queen, Cruella De Vil, and Jafar – are welcomed to Auradon Prep to attend school with the children of their parents’ sworn enemies. Now entering a completely foreign world and way of life, the four Villain Kids have a difficult choice to make: should they follow in their parents’ wicked footsteps or learn to be good?

This production will be directed by Maureen O’Malley with choreography by Mary Huebert.

****Thank you to everyone who auditioned.  Callback list available HERE.   Even if you aren’t called back, you may still be in the cast!  Final cast list will be published after callbacks.
