Adelante Students Bring Superheroes Alive on Stage

Adelante Spanish Immersion School and San Carlos Children’s Theater are pleased to announce their winter mini-musical Adventures of a Comic Book Artist, a family-friendly spoof on the comic book genre. The show will go on Friday, December 5 through Sunday, December 7. See below for more information on times and ticket purchase.

Eron Block from the San Carlos Children’s Theater directs the play for his seventh year, collaborating with Adelante students to develop talents and interest in the theater. Over 25 Adelante students from Kindergarten through 5th Grade have been working for months to prepare the songs and production..

Stanley Leonardo Sappovitz wants nothing more than to become a comic book artist and create heroes and villains for the comic books he loves so much. As the janitor at Wonder Comics, he anxiously awaits the day that his boss, D.C. Wunderman, will see his drawings and give him the chance to have his superheroes come alive on the printed page. With the flick of a magic pen, Stanley’s heroes come alive, all right — but not on the printed page!

Opening night for Adventures of a Comic Book Artist will be on Dec 5th at 7pm with two additional shows on Saturday, Dec 6th at 7pm and a Sunday matinee on Dec 7th at 1pm. The play will take place at McKinley Middle School, 400 Duane Street, Redwood City.

Advance purchase tickets are now available ($10 for general seating and $15 for reserve seating). General seating tickets purchased at the door will be $12.
