Stanley Lambchop is your ordinary, run-of-the-mill kid, living a normal life. That’s just the problem … for Stanley, life is too normal. He wants to travel the world and do something amazing no one’s ever seen before. Careful what you wish for, Stanley! One night, the bulletin board above Stanley’s bed comes loose and falls—right on top of Stanley! The next morning, Stanley Lambchop wakes up flat. Not just a little flat … really, REALLY flat!

Bring It On The Musical
The cutthroat world of competitive cheerleading meets the fierce rivalries of high school politics and romance. Bitingly relevant, sprinkled with sass, and inspired by the hit film, BRING IT ON THE MUSICAL takes audiences on a high-energy journey filled with the complexities of friendship, jealousy, betrayal and forgiveness. Campbell is cheer-royalty at Truman High School and her senior year should prove the most cheertastic—she’s been named captain of the squad! But an unexpected redistricting has forced her to spend her final year of high school at the neighboring, hard-knock Jackson High School. Despite having the deck stacked against her, Campbell befriends the dance crew girls and, along with their headstrong and hardworking leader Danielle, manages to form a powerhouse squad for the ultimate competition—the National Championships.
