“Freedom Lost”
A Modern Day Musical

To Eric and Beth Millis – sixteen year old twins – the taste of freedom seems so close. All they need is the courage to embrace it. A perfect storm of emotions push them over the edge, compelling them to take bold, impulsive leap into the real world. When they quickly discover that their 6-year old sister, Mandie, has “tagged along,” things go sideways. They soon find themselves in a run-down Carnival, encountering obstacles and dangers far exceeding anything they could have possibly imagined.
As reality slowly morphs into fantasy, they are thrust into an impossible situation. It takes the innocence and love of a child to set them free.

Strong character – An engaging story line – A stunning arial ballet.
The perfect family musical.
All tied together with an imaginative musical score.
