Program Title: Ascent

Ascent takes us on an emotional journey through the mountains and challenges we face in life. The show begins in struggle and uncertainty, exploring moments of doubt, heartbreak, and hardship. Through perseverance and hope, we find the strength to keep climbing. Featuring music such as “Die With a Smile” and “Go the Distance” from Hercules, the journey moves from darkness toward light, ultimately reaching a beautiful and triumphant ending.
