Join us as the dynamic artists of ETA present this lushly scored retelling of Victor Hugo’s epic story of love, acceptance and what it means to be a hero.  Quasimodo, a bell-ringer with severe physical impairments, who longs to be "Out There," is held captive by his devious caretaker, the archdeacon Dom Claude Frollo. He escapes for the day and joins the boisterous crowd, only to be treated cruelly by all but the beautiful Esmeralda. As Frollo embarks on a mission to destroy the Roma – and it’s up to Quasimodo to save them all.
