Inspired by “The Grinch Who Stole Christmas,” THE GRUNCH tells the story of Ruby Grunch, a grumpy 6th grader who always feels like an outsider. When the entire school gets excited about the annual school musical, she comes up with a perfect plan to ruin it for everyone; she’ll steal the sets, costumes and lights the night before it opens. Will the Drama club get shut down because of a bad review, or will the spirit of theatre prevail? With music reminiscent of other famous Broadway songs, this show will have you bouncing in your seat and bring out the inner theatre geek in everyone!

THE GRUNCH is produced by the DAC Applause youth performing arts program, grades 3rd-10th grades. With a pre-show performed by the Wee-Glee (4-6 yr olds) and Confetti (1st and 2nd grade) classes.
