Finding Nemo Jr. – Meet and Greet

Finding Nemo Jr. – Meet and Greet

This is your chance to make your best fish face for a photo with familiar friends (not food), just keep singing along with the cast, and see how these fish go with the flow in a dance or two. So come out to meet the cast and get a sneak peak of the show while you enjoying several community vendors such as Tropical Sno and the Lions Club, amongst others!

We are proud to partner with the Louis Latzer Memorial Public Library for this event, and nothing would be possible without the show sponsors: Bradford National Bank Highland and Elfin Lights.

Swim on over to the Finding Nemo Jr. Meet and Greet at the Highland Square!! The cast can’t wait!

  • Highland Square
  • Saturday, June 3rd from 1-3 pm

And don’t forget to get your tickets ready for the show just a few weeks later!

Descendants The Musical Show Location –  Summer 2022

Descendants The Musical Show Location – Summer 2022

2022 Summer Show Location – HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

We are thrilled to announce that with amazing support from the City of Highland, and the Highland Parks and Rec Department we will be staging this summer’s show, Descendants The Musical on the stage at the Weinheimer Community Center!!!!

This amazing space, a historic corner piece of our community will have live theater on it’s stage for the first time in over 50? 60? …we don’t know, but a lot of years! If you know the last time it was used as a performance space, let us know in the comments below!

As Hard Road continues to rebuild it’s identity and works to build back up to a full slate of shows in a season, one of the critical areas we are addressing is the logistics of where to put on a show. For the last 20+ years Hard Road has been the gracious guest of the Highland School District and their facilities – the Auditorium and the Kennel. As the district has grown and changed the way they utilize those facilities for education, some spaces, have become unavailable for use. While the summer months in the school auditorium are generally clear for Hard Road’s use, the feasibility of staging multiple shows, one right after the other in the same facility presents enormous challenges for our production and creative teams – thus the need for another space!

We are looking to and building for the future of this organization. We are hopeful that with a successful show at the Weinheimer this summer, Hard Road can expand the number of shows we produce in the coming years by utilizing multiple spaces for multiple shows throughout the year – on stage at the Weinheimer and on stage at the school auditorium!

Now for what you really want to know about – Audition Materials/Times/Location etc… will be posted by Noon tomorrow, so keep your eyes peeled for that!
