​JULY 2020

Original script, music and lyrics written by MadCo students Benjamin Britton and Abigail Boyd. Lucas is the only Human in the land of Mikkletopia. He knows what it feels like to be different. He sets out on a quest with his new found friends the Wizard, Stanley the Chicken, and Fairy Princess Felicia Von Sparklebreath. Together, they defeat the evil Gargon and his Gremlins. Everyone learns that it's better to be yourself, not who you pretend to be. It's 50 minutes of music, laughs, and fun for the entire family. Come watch the cast of The Adventures of Lucas the Human as they perform wearing face shields, learning about the importance of physical distancing. This is a cast with a lot of heart and talent!
