RISE is thrilled to announce auditions for its next all-youth RISE JR production: DISNEY’S DESCENDANTS!
 

Based on the popular Disney Channel Original Movies, Disney’s Descendants: The Musical is a brand-new musical jam-packed with comedy, adventure, Disney characters, and hit songs from the films!

 

Imprisoned on the Isle of the Lost – home of the most infamous villains who ever lived – the teenaged children of Maleficent, the Evil Queen, Jafar, and Cruella De Vil have never ventured off the island… until now. When the four troublemakers are sent to attend prep school alongside the children of beloved Disney heroes, they have a difficult choice to make: should they follow in their parents’ wicked footsteps or learn to be good?

Twelve more hostages have been released by Hamas as part of an extended ceasefire deal with Israel. Yesterday, the temporary pause in fighting was extended an additional two days. Israeli and Palestinian officials said 30 Palestinian detainees -- 15 women and 15 minor males -- were also released from Israeli prisons today.        The Pentagon says missiles fired from a rebel-controlled area of Yemen in the direction of a Navy warship were not intended for the vessel. Pentagon Press Secretary Pat Ryder said in a briefing Tuesday that he can't speak to what the target actually was. The missile landed near the USS Mason and a commercial tanker, but the Pentagon assessed they weren't singled out.        A Republican super PAC is backing Nikki Haley's presidential campaign. The political action network financed largely by billionaire Charles Koch [[ Coke ]] has endorsed the former South Carolina governor's bid for the White House. It's seen as a major boost to Haley's campaign as a viable Republican alternative to former President Trump.        Hunter Biden is willing to testify before Congress in the House's investigation into his actions, but only if he can do so publicly. The president's son's legal team said so in a letter to the House Oversight Committee. Hunter Biden's attorneys accused the House of using "closed-door sessions to manipulate, even distort the facts and misinform the public."        The judge in Elon Musk's lawsuit against Media Matters is recusing himself from the case. New court documents revealed Judge Mark Pittman was stepping away and asked the case to be assigned to a different judge. Pittman didn't give a reason for the recusal. Musk is suing the media watchdog for defamation, alleging they defamed his social media platform X.        Pope Francis is pulling out of his planned trip to the COP28 climate meeting in Dubai. The Vatican said the Pope is continuing to deal with the effects of the flu as he recovers from it, along with lung inflammation. The 86-year-old pope was due to travel to the Middle East this weekend for three days. The pope agreed to stay home "with great regret." The Vatican is looking into ways he can still join discussions remotely.
