The Hartland Players’ Youth Encore Theater is excited to announce the cast of Lion King Jr. and want to thank everyone who auditioned. Your talent, courage, and enthusiasm were nothing short of incredible! With such a large number of children auditioning, the casting process was very difficult, as you can imagine. Unfortunately, even though every performance was awesome, there were simply not enough roles available in Lion King Jr. to cast everyone. Nevertheless, we want to encourage you to continue auditioning for other Encore Youth Theater Productions!
