TLT is excited to put on another virtual performance this Fall! To make sure students are getting the best experience possible, we will select the show based on the number of enrollments we have. Students will participate in one of the following two productions.    

1. Dracula The Play. This exciting play focuses on young Harker as he meets and navigates the world of Count Dracula. Harker’s friends Mina, Remington and Lucy all find themselves dealing with Dracula on their own! Will Harker and friends defeat Dracula before he moves into Tacoma! This class will need a minimum of 8 students for this production to run. If more than 12 enroll, the show will be Super Happy Awesome News.

2. Super Happy Awesome New, The Musical. Two siblings launch rival good news networks and find themselves competing for the title of the happiest news show. Soon, their correspondents are in a whirlwind of ecstatic musical reporting – from joyful weather forecasts to cheerful cooking segments and blissful political updates! But, when vulnerability starts peeking through the euphoric facade, they’re left wondering: is there room for raw honesty on a super happy broadcast? This class will meet Mondays and Wednesdays for 2 hours. This class will need a minimum of 12 students for this production to run, if less than 12 enroll Dracula will be performed.
