Thrill the World

Each year the students of Pennsylvania Youth Theatre, along with tens of thousands of others around the globe, get zombie-fied and perform one of the most well-known and epic dances of all time: Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.” And we do it at the exact same time. 

Why do we do THRILL?

 To KEEP THE ARTS UNDEAD! Funds raised will go toward bringing vibrant, literature-based arts education back into local public schools.

 You wanna get your ZOMBIE on? Here's how:

 When: Check-in begins at 7 p.m. on Oct. 29, 2011

 Where: SteelStacks, 101 Founders Way, Bethlehem.

Worldwide synchronized THRILL: 10 p.m.

Post-THRILL: Stick around for a DJ-ed dance party, scary movies and more Halloween fun.

Participant registration: Open now! Click on the big green button above to register solo, to join a team or create one. 

Team Captains: Get creative. Pull from your office, book club, church group, etc. You never know who's a zombie fan or who just loves the arts, as we do. And don't worry, we'll have a team captain packet that will lay it all out for you.       

Fee: $25, with a request to raise an additional $25. Do so, and you get a free "Thrill the World 2011" T-shirt. Prizes awarded to top fundraiser and top-earning team. 

When do I learn the dance? Check out the video on your fundraising page to get a jump start. Otherwise, we'll teach it to you the night of the 29th.

Contests: Teams of 10 or more may compete in our “Best Zombie Swarm” dance contest, to be judged by a celebrity panel, which includes Stephanie Wells, of B104’s “Mike & Steph in the Morning.” The winning team will lead the big THRILL at 10 p.m. To register, email Kelly atdevelopment@123pyt.org Time slots will be assigned prior to the event.
