Saturday, Nov. 15 - 1:30 PM MaxxCorp is interviewing new employees! Who will be hired? The Red Bull chugging ER doc? The spurned BFF? The perfectionist or the knitter or the future cult leader? And what happens when it’s also Take Your Daughter to Work Day? Is there a place for everyone at MaxxCorp, especially when MaxxCorp might actually be an evil organization intent on taking over the world? Can secret service agent Jack Brinn save all of us from doom? To find out what happens to the employees — and daughters of employees — of MaxxCorp, join BC Applause for the world premiere of Gainful Employment by Don Zolidis.

Alice in Wonderland Jr [April 2025]
Poster design by Isa Conte
|
Fall down the rabbit hole with Alice as she navigates the curious world of Wonderland on her journey of self-discovery. Along her adventure, Alice encounters the ever-tardy White Rabbit, the grinning Cheshire Cat, a cool Caterpillar, the wacky Mad Hatter, a temperamental Queen, and many more beloved Wonderland characters in this charming updated retelling of the classic Lewis Carroll stories. Adapted especially for young performers, the musical includes favorite songs from the Disney canon such as “I’m Late,” “The Unbirthday Song,” and “Painting the Roses Red,” in addition to music from the 2010 Tim Burton live-action film. Whether this is your first experience with Alice or your hundredth, you’ll lose your head (and your heart) for Alice in Wonderland JR.
Music and Lyrics by Danny Elfman | Sammy Fain & Bob Hilliard, Oliver Wallace & Cy Coben, Michael Abbott & Sarah Weeks, and Mack David, Al Hoffman & Jerry Livingston | Music Adapted and Arranged and Additional Music and Lyrics by Bryan Louiselle | Additional Arrangements & Orchestrations by Patrick Sulken | Book and Additional Lyrics by David Simpatico
Based on the 1951 Disney film Alice in Wonderland and

Almost Frozen
May 2021 With COVID restrictions wreaking havoc on plans for a live musical, the cast and crew of BC Applause came together to create Almost Frozen, an adaptation of an adaptation of Disney's Frozen. |

The full 20-minute video was a collection of clips from regular rehearsals and dress rehearsals, one-off videos created by students, and other snippets put together in order to create something during the pandemic when all of the plans to perform were thwarted, one after another after another.
