The WRCC’s production of Disney’s Lion King, Jr. is based on the Broadway production directed by Julie Taymor featuring music and lyrics by Elton John and Tim Rice.
Directed by Bill Jacob, “The Lion King, Jr.” celebrates 21 seasons of musical productions by the award-winning WRCC Players, which bring together a talented cast of over 90 children who live in West Roxbury, Dedham, Brookline, Needham and other towns.
The WRCC Players—a program of the BCYF West Roxbury Community Center— is a theater group for children ages 8 and up directed by Bill Jacob of Roslindale, MA.
The Players are joined in performance by the Pee Wee Players, an adjunct company of actors ages 4-7.
Together, the combined ensemble of 90 actors has performed past hits like 'The Pirates of Penzance,' 'Alice in Wonderland,' 'Seussical,' 'Honk!' and Disney’s 'Beauty and The Beast.'
The WRCC Players were awarded the Good Neighbor Award by ARTS | LEARNING in 2016 in recognition of 20 years of production and an Ace of Aces Award in 2007 for excellence in Arts Programming by the Office of the Mayor of Boston.
The director, Bill Jacob was recognized in 2016 by the Mayor’s Office and in 2009 by the Boston City Council for Sustained Community Service in the Arts.
The WRCC Players are the only theater production program producing full length plays offered in the City of Boston by Boston Centers for Youth and Families, and they are the most affordable of any theater production programs in the metropolitan area.
