Welcome to the Renaissance — a time of music, art, and over-the-top theater! Something Rotten! JR. is a hilarious musical comedy that follows brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom, two playwrights desperate to compete with the rockstar of the Elizabethan stage — William Shakespeare himself.

​

When the Bottom brothers learn from a local soothsayer that the future of theater involves singing, dancing, and acting at the same time, they set out to write the world’s very first musical. What follows is a whirlwind of mistaken predictions, showbiz ambition, and big, splashy production numbers filled with laughs, clever wordplay, and Broadway-style fun.

​

Packed with larger-than-life characters — from the egotistical “Bard” to hopeful dreamers, rebellious lovers, and wacky ensemble roles — Something Rotten! JR. gives every performer a chance to shine. It’s an energetic, witty show that celebrates creativity, teamwork, and the joy of finding your own voice (even when everyone says you’re a little bit rotten).

​

Actors can expect fast-paced dialogue, comedic timing, lots of music and movement, and a strong ensemble spirit. If you love humor, clever songs, and characters with big personalities, this is the perfect show to be part of!
