Live Theatre Workshop Fantastic Theatre for Kids "Spaceman Zero" {A Giveaway}

Live Theatre Workshop Fantastic Theatre for Kids "Spaceman Zero" {A Giveaway}

Spaceman Zero~ An original story by Kristian Kissel with original music by David RaglandFeaturing: Bree Boyd, Evan Cipra, Sarah Drottz, Trenton Hilliker, Austin Killian and Tyler West

Arizona Families was given tickets in exchange for helping get the word out about his wonderful local family theatre

WHAT:

Spaceman Zero - Casper has always been fascinated with space, and he's one of the smartest kids in his 6th grade class. So, when he announces that he intends to build a rocket ship for this year's science fair, everyone thinks it's a great idea. Until, of course, he actually succeeds and ends up in space! 

While his parents and the military are busy trying to figure out how to get him back home, Casper is having the adventure of a lifetime. He even meets a new friend from an unknown planet! The General is convinced that Casper's new friend is dangerous, all the reporters want the story of a lifetime, that cute girl Caspar likes is finally thinking about letting him take her to the dance, the science fair committee is ready to give him first place, and his parents just want him back.

 Can Casper make it home, save his friend, get his ribbon, and get to the dance on time? Come and find out in this truly out-of-this-world story!

“I was inspired to write Spaceman Zero because I wanted to write an underdog story in which people didn’t believe the kid could do it, but of course, he does,” says director Kristian Kissel, who is the theatre teacher at Sabino High School in Tucson. “I hope kids who see this show love the characters and see that maybe they can go home and follow their big dreams, too.” See more from Kissel: Youtube LINK

Tickets for both performances are on sale now and can be purchased at www.pawpatrollive.com or by phone at 800-745-3000.

Featuring a cast of everybody’s favorite PAW Patrol characters and presented by VStar Entertainment Group and Nickelodeon, PAW Patrol Live! shows that “no job is too big, no pup is too small,” and shares lessons for all ages about citizenship, social skills and problem-solving as the characters each use their unique skills and teamwork. The show includes two acts and an intermission, and engages audiences with Bunraku puppetry, an innovative costuming approach that brings the PAW Patrol characters to life on stage with their vehicles and packs.

“Using Bunraku, puppetry elements are built into costumes worn by real actors to create a wonderful combination of life-size pups and to make a stronger connection with the audience. The PAW Patrol cast sings and dances, which brings a fun, realistic parallel between the animated series and the live show,” says Jim Waters, producer, VStar Entertainment Group.

The performance features up-tempo music and a brand new cleverly written script that is a good introduction to live theater for kids. Classic theatrical scenery along with a high-tech video wall visually transports families to an authentic PAW Patrol environment, including locations from the TV series, like Adventure Bay, The Lookout, Seal Island, Farmer Yumi's farm and Jake's Mountain.

Totally 80's Rocks the Gaslight in Neon and Parachute Pants! {Upcoming Concerts}

Totally 80's Rocks the Gaslight in Neon and Parachute Pants! 

{Upcoming Concerts}

We recently attended the Totally 80's concert at The Gaslight Theatre Tucson along with a sold out house of throwback fans!

Arizona Families attended this totally rad show in exchange for sharing our thoughts about it!

We partied like it was 1999 with these fabulous local artists for Totally 80's. I grew up with these songs but my son and his band mates did not. In fact, they were all born after 1999, so having a group of 11 year-old boys that LOVE 80's music is so fun. The Gaslight Theatre and the Gaslight Music Hall in Oro Valley have a few performances of Totally 80's coming up and you do not want to miss them.

They will take you back to the days of neon, miniskirts, lace cut off gloves, crazy sunglasses and all the great sing-along favorites.The musicians and vocalists rocked so many killer covers from this party time in US music history.

Janeé Page knows that girls just wanna have fun. She gave us the best of  Cyndi, Madonna, and so much more on a wide range of covers!

Mike Yarema rocked not only the vocals  but the kitschy instruments and had us rocking and laughing with him. I think that Janeé and Mike may have been praying to the synthesizer gods in the scene below AND it worked! The show was non-stop, high energy fun.

The bass player, Derek Norman brought out the 6 string bass and the parachute zebra print pants. He held down the groove and brought the fashion for sure!

The double keyboard/synth magician brought out so much of that electronic feel on songs from this decade. He was totally tubular on the songs that he sang too, Purple Rain jacket and all.

Luke Stone shredded on guitar making sure the rock songs got to shine with the solos and kept the riffs coming. Such a cool guitar and it looked like he was Kung Fu fighting sometimes! 

The back beat of all songs, Adam Ackerman really whipped it good. He never missed a beat and has the eye of the tiger! 

 Jump! up and get your tickets today. This would be a perfect summer night adventure with the family to rock out at!
What:

When:TOTALLY 80'S
6/30/18   AND   10/6/18 6pm

Where:THE GASLIGHT MUSIC HALL 13005 N ORACLE

Tickets: You can now purchase tickets online HERE.

All ages will enjoy this show!
