Fall 2026 Lab Production
Disney’s The Lion King KIDS tells the story of the epic adventures of a curious cub named Simba as he struggles to accept the responsibilities of adulthood and his destiny as king. Along the way, the young lion encounters a colorful cast of characters, including spunky lioness Nala, charismatic meerkat Timon, and lovable warthog Pumbaa. To claim his rightful place on the throne and save his beloved Pridelands, Simba must find his inner strength and confront his wicked Uncle Scar.
The Lion King KIDS features classic songs from the 1994 film such as “Hakuna Matata” and the Academy Award®-winning “Can You Feel the Love Tonight,” as well as additional songs from the Broadway production.

PARTICIPATION POLICY
For sessions 2-8: Each child is permitted one absence and 2 shadows. Session 1 (role placement) does not count towards our attendance policy since no material is being taught. Additional absences or shadows due to illness will be permitted solely at the discretion of the director.
For session 9 and 10: Children are required to attend and participate in (and may not shadow, arrive late to, or leave early from) our two mandatory rehearsals. These rehearsals include the dress rehearsal (session 9), and the final dress/performance (session 10), all of which are marked as mandatory on the rehearsal schedule. Please make sure to double-check your child’s schedule to ensure their availability for these mandatory rehearsals.
REFUND POLICY
Random Farms is not offering refunds or credits unless we are unable to run the program or your group. In that case, credits and refunds will be available for the full value of the subsidized tuition.
WAIT LIST / PRIORITY REGISTRATION
There is no cost to join a waitlist. If a spot becomes available, we will email you and you can decide at that time if you would like to take it. If we are unable to get you off the waitlist, your child will receive priority registration for the next Lab production. That means that you will be given the opportunity to register before the program opens to the public. Please contact hello@
STANDARD AGREEMENT
