TIME TRAVELERS

Buckle up – history and the future collide! In this imaginative theater adventure, students become time travelers who jump between different eras, characters, and worlds. From ancient kingdoms to futuristic cities, performers will create scenes, explore characters, and bring time-bending stories to life.

Students will build acting skills through improvisation, character creation, and ensemble storytelling. Each “time jump” introduces a new setting, style, and performance challenge, helping students expand their range and creativity.

Song & Performance Material may include:

  • A Million Dreams
  • Try Everything
  • Firework
  • We’re All in This Together
  • Brave

Final Event: A “Timeline Showcase” where students perform scenes and songs from multiple eras, stitched together into a fast-paced theatrical journey.

  • Ages 9–14
  • Monday | 9:00 AM–3:00 PM
  • October 12, 2026
