ZOMBIES IN THE PARK PERFORMANCE CLUB!

SEPT 4 - OCT 30th 

  “ZOMBIES" is a series of musical adventure films centered around cheerleaders, werewolves, vampires, aliens and of course - Zombies! They battle conformity, fitting-in and acceptance.  Performance Club will perform scenes and musical numbers inspired from this popular Disney series. Whether you love singing, dancing or becoming a character - this program allows young performers to explore their inner zombie-witch-fairy-goblin or costume character of your choice!  Plus it’s a Performance Club tradition where we conclude our show with THE THRILLER as our grande finale!
