Zip Zap Zing Children's Theatre Acting Academy

Someone has stolen Mr. Bones! The school skeleton has disappeared from the nurse's office and everyone is a suspect. When the principal announces he will award a prize to the class that can solve the mystery, a frantic race for clues begins. Adapted from Ron Roy's popular A to Z Mystery series, students will delight in the fun characters and fast paced fact finding of this “Whodonit” for kids. Whether it's their first time on the stage or 101st, ZZZ's play production process will build young performers' skills and techniques in a fun environment that promotes confidence and encourages imagination. As students strive to develop characterizations and build scenes, they will be fine tuning the three major tools of an actor: mind, body, and voice. Line memorization, character development, blocking with stage directions, focal points, working within an ensemble, as well as musical numbers incorporating singing and basic dance choreography will all be explored.

Performance will take place Saturday, December 3rd.
