ON THE RUN — Young Simba (center, Carlisle Peery) runs from a stampede of Wildebeest (played by Willow Craddock, Chase Freeman, Walton Harder, Aniya Pete, Olivia Stephens and Dallas Wallace) during Masquerade Theatre’s production of Disney’s “The Lion King Jr.” The show is about the epic adventures of a curious lion cub named Simba as he struggles to accept the responsibilities of adulthood and his destiny as king.
