Horizon West Theater Company will return to the stage for performances of “Descendants: The Musical” this weekend.

Shows will take place at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 15, and 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 16, at Lakeview Middle School, 1200 W. Bay St., Winter Garden.

It is present-day, and in the kingdom of Auradon, all of Disney’s beloved heroes and royalty are living happily ever after, safe from the terrifying villains and troublesome sidekicks they have banished to the magic-free Isle of the Lost.

That is until Ben, the benevolent teenage son of Belle and King Adam (The Beast), offers a chance of redemption for the troublemaking offspring of the evilest villains. Mal, Evie, Jay and Carlos — the children of Maleficent, the Evil Queen, Cruella De Vil, and Jafar — are welcomed to Auradon Prep to attend school with the children of their parents’ sworn enemies.

Now entering a completely foreign world and way of life, the four Villain Kids have a difficult choice to make: should they follow in their parents’ wicked footsteps or learn to be good?

If you can’t see the show in person, the company is offering a live-stream of its Saturday matinee performance.
