Heavy Lies the Crown

OrangeMite Studios is proud to present its third original musical Heavy Lies The Crown this summer, written by William Wolfgang and Jesse Rupp, and under the direction of Yvette Hershey. A grand musical comedy dealing with issues of power, pride, and the supremacy of love, this production is sure to be OrangeMites' most breathtaking yet!

A plane goes down over the Guatemalan Jungle stranding five people in its deadly confines. The survivors soon discover that being rescued is the least of their worries when they are captured by an egomaniacal Aztec king named Tenoch and his Aztec tribe. Things continue to get stranger as they learn that King Tenoch controls the minds of his subjects with his crown.

However, King Tenoch is not without his own problems. He desperately wants to find love again but fears to do so because so very often his wives meet a bitter sacrificial end. Faced with the choice to love again or to live alone for the rest of eternity, King Tenoch uses the crown's power for an evil many would consider irredeemable.

This epic musical will be performed by over thirty talented local actors and twenty skilled musicians playing in a live pit orchestra. Performances will be on July 30 & 31, August 6 & 7 at 7:30 pm and August 1 & 8 at 2:30 pm at Dover Area High School. Tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for students/senior citizens.

Tickets are general admission and can be purchased at the door. If you would like to reserve tickets please email tickets@orangemite.com. Give your name, the number of tickets you would like and which performance you will be attending. You can then pick up your tickets at the door.
