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?

Today marks two months since the Israel-Hamas war began. Israel says its forces have encircled the home of the top Hamas leader in the southern part of the region, who is believed to be hiding underground. This comes as Palestinian civilians are fleeing the fighting at Israel's request but some have warned there is no where safe to go and supplies are quickly running out.        Former President Trump is in attendance at his New York fraud trial today. The former President is also expected to testify Monday as the last witness in the defense case. The office of New York Attorney General Letitia James is suing the Trumps and the Trump Organization for allegedly inflating financial statements by billions of dollars.        Senate Republicans say President Biden is "AWOL" when it comes to securing the southern border. South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham told reporters today the president's policies are directly resulting in the surge of migrant crossings into the U.S. He said Democrats will have to make significant concessions on border policy if they want to pass the president's funding request for Ukraine and Israel.        The richest Americans are richer than ever. New figures from the Federal Reserve show that the top one-percent of earners in the U.S. own more wealth than all middle class Americans combined. According to statistics through the middle of this year, 26-and-a-half percent of all household wealth, 38-point-seven trillion dollars, belongs to those whose income puts them in the top one-percent.        Uber is rolling out a "robot reindeer" to help deliver mobile food orders to customers during the holidays. The company says robots decorated to look like reindeer will be used for some Uber Eats orders in Miami, Los Angeles and Fairfax, Virginia. The company says it hopes the festive robots will bring some holiday cheer to customers over the next few weeks.        Reigning Masters Champion Jon Rahm is reportedly leaving the PGA Tour to join the LIV Golf League.
