This summer, Salt
& Light Theatre for the Performing Arts, is excited to announce its summer
Broadway show of “Tuck Everlasting The Musical” directed by Pastor
Ryan Brosious with performances on July 15-18.

If you could live
forever, would you? Eleven-year-old Winnie Foster longs for an adventurous life
beyond her white picket fence, but it is only when she meets the Tuck family
that her life takes an unexpected turn. When Winnie learns of the magic
behind the infinite youth of the Tuck family, she has to fight to protect its
secret from those who would do anything to have a chance to live
forever. In the middle of this adventure, she is faced with an
extraordinary decision: return to her old life or the eternal journey with the
Tucks. Based on the best-selling children’s
classic by Natalie Babbitt, this musical adventure for the whole family
features exciting characters, warm-hearted humor, soaring music, and a ton of
dancing!
