Disney’s Dare to Dream JR. turns a century of Disney magic into a theatrical celebration of music, creativity, and the dreams that live inside us all. The story follows an eager group of trainees on their first day at a fictional Disney Imagineering Studio. As the group sets out to help each other discover their dreams, they work together to explore the power of dreams to unite, inspire, and make anything possible. 

Featuring songs for the first time ever in a Disney stage musical, including fan-favorites from The Princess and the Frog, Coco, Encanto, and Frozen II, this musical revue is a thrilling mix of contemporary songs, timeless classics, and brand-new medleys to surprise and delight Disney lovers of all ages.​

CPP's youth cast will bring this experience to life in a way that audiences for over 30 years have come to value and appreciate.
