SUBURBAN
CLASSES + CAMPS
Skyline, together with an array of park districts, schools, community centers, and dance studios across the North Shore and Lake County suburbs, brings the magic of theater education to every corner of Chicagoland. Currently you can find Skyline in Barrington, Kenilworth, Lake Zurich, Glenview, Northfield, Skokie, Wilmette, Winnetka, and Vernon Hills.
The 20th Anniversary of Skyline continues with the reprise of another 2020 COVID-19 pandemic production! The Fall 2020 season forced us to get creative, so we socially distanced in outdoor productions of Moana Jr. However, we knew we needed to reprise this musical adaptation of the 2016 Disney animated film and bring the adventures of Moana and her village of Motunui to life on stage for a full run!
This thrilling and heartwarming coming-of-age story follows the strong-willed Moana and friends Pua and Hei Hei as they set sail across the Pacific to save Motunui and discover the truth about her heritage. Moana and the legendary demigod Maui embark on an epic journey of self-discovery and camaraderie as both learn to harness the power that lies within. With fun characters like Tomatoa, Chief Tui, Te Ka, Te Fiti, Sina, Gramma Tala, and more, Moana Jr. has roles where every actor gets to shine!
