Picture
Westminster, MD – January 6, 2025 – September Song Musical Theatre is excited to announce its upcoming production of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, set to grace the stage in August 2025. This timeless tale, adapted from the beloved Victor Hugo novel, will captivate audiences with its powerful themes of love, acceptance, and the quest for belonging.

Featuring a stunning score by Alan Menken and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, The Hunchback of Notre Dame tells the story of Quasimodo, the gentle yet deformed bell-ringer of Notre Dame Cathedral, and his heartfelt journey toward acceptance in a world that sees him as an outsider. Audiences will be enchanted by the beautiful music, poignant story, and intricate choreography that brings this classic tale to life.

We are pleased to announce that Kelly Stoneberger will take on the roles of Director and Music Director, bringing her vocal music expertise and passion for storytelling to this beloved tale. Ciaire Green will serve as Assistant Director, with choreography by Amy Appleby.  “We are thrilled to bring this powerful story to our stage,” says Allen Cross, Executive Producer. “The Hunchback of Notre Dame resonates deeply with audiences and invites us to reflect on our shared humanity and the importance of compassion.”

The production will run for two weekends in August 2025 at Carroll Community College. Auditions are expected to be in early April with rehearsals starting shortly after. Additional information about auditions will be released soon. Tickets will be on sale starting in May 2025, with various pricing options available to ensure everyone has the opportunity to experience this remarkable show.
