Auditions for ONCE UPON A ONE MORE TIME: HIGH SCHOOL VERSION at Greasepaint Youth Theatre announced for July 28
Tuesday July 28th, 5-10pm
Once Upon a One More Time is a Broadway jukebox musical that uses Britney Spears's hit songs to tell a new story about classic fairy tale characters. The show follows the princesses as they attend a book club and encounter a feminist awakening after a fairy godmother introduces them to Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique. The characters embark on a quest to rewrite their stories and redefine "happily ever after".
What is the musical really about?
“We do not have to be trapped by tradition. Instead, we keep what works and discard what limits us. We are the authors of our own lives.” – Our director, Angelica Howland
And it’s all told through the songs of the undisputed pop princess, Britney Spears!

Two Acts – Approximate Run Time 2.5 hours
When Ren McCormack and his mother move from Chicago to the small town of Bomont, Ren expects the usual challenges of fitting into a new high school. What he doesn’t expect is a town where dancing and rock music have been banned by the local preacher, Reverend Shaw Moore, following a tragic accident that deeply affected the community.
As Ren struggles against the strict rules and conservative attitudes of Bomont, he forms friendships with fellow students and becomes drawn to the preacher’s rebellious daughter, Ariel. Tensions rise when Ren challenges the town’s ban on dancing and encourages the community to heal rather than live in fear.
Filled with high-energy dance numbers and hit songs including “Footloose,” “Holding Out for a Hero,” and “Let’s Hear It for the Boy,” the musical celebrates youth, forgiveness, and the importance of listening to one another

ONCE - Theatrikos Theatre Company - August 13-September 6, 2026
Theatrikos Theatre Company invites you to experience the breathtaking, emotionally charged romance of the hit musical, Once. This soul-stirring production, running from August 13 to September 6, 2026, is based on the original book that inspired both the Academy Award-winning film and this breathtaking stage adaptation. Directed by Jan Rominger, Once features a book by Enda Walsh with music and lyrics by Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová.
The show whisks audiences away to the bustling streets of Dublin, where an Irish street musician (Guy) and a Czech immigrant (Girl) are drawn together by their shared love of music. Over the course of one fateful week, an unexpected friendship evolves into a powerful love story, underscored by the Oscar-winning song "Falling Slowly." Unlike traditional musicals, the uniquely talented cast doubles as the orchestra, playing their own instruments live on stage to create an intimate, raw, and unforgettable theatrical experience.
“Once is a musical that I've been wanting to direct for Flagstaff since it opened on Broadway,” says director Jan Rominger. “I fell in love with the independent film and original soundtrack and was lucky enough to see a production at The Phoenix Theatre Company. If you've seen the film, believe me, the musical stage version is an even better gem.”
This production features aching vocal harmonies, soaring acoustic arrangements, and a profoundly moving story that explores the power of music to connect us all. With its captivating folk-rock score, the show is a heartwarming celebration of taking risks, holding onto your dreams, and the bonds that shape our lives.
The production features a talented ensemble of performers: Clay Allred, Caitlin Burd, Hannah Johnson, Jacob Johnson, Stephanie Galloway, Rod Robinson, AJ Maniglia, Stephen Root, Quinn Halgrimson, Lily Wolfe, Dermot Louchart, Joe Maniglia, Emerson Commanda, and Violet Orchard-Strohmeyer.
The creative team includes Director, Jan Rominger; Music Director, Stephanie Galloway; Choreographer, Leslie Ptak Baker; Scenic Designer, Matthew Herman; Costume Designer, Bracken Davis; Lighting Designer, Shane Waltz; Sound Designer, Kelli Cvercko; Properties Artisan, Sophia Webb; Production Stage Manager, Shari Snodgrass; Dialect Coach, Kimily Conkle; and Production Assistant, Newton McDaniel, whose combined artistry transforms the stage into an evocative, Dublin-infused musical showcase.
Theatrikos Theatre Company, known for its high-quality theatre productions, continues its 2026 schedule by offering regular weekend performances and matinees, ensuring that families and theatre-goers of all ages can enjoy this incredible musical journey.
Preview Performance: Thursday, August 13 at 7:30 PM
