Game Changers
  Book by Christina Franklin
Music & Lyrics by Matthew Gregory
April 26 – May 18, 2025 

Game Changers is an electrifying, 90s pop-infused musical that takes you on a nostalgic journey back to the iconic kid game shows of the 1990s.

The show follows six determined, young contestants as they battle their way to the top of Mt. Victory, all for the chance to claim the ultimate prize. Along the way learning that sometimes the Journey to Victory is about more than winning. 

Get ready for a 90s-themed blast from the past this Spring!
