The Missing Masterpiece

By Jennifer Reif

Elementary (3rd-5th)

🕕 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM

PERFORMANCE: August 1st, Time TBA

It’s the night of the big art museum fundraiser, and just as dessert is being served, the lights go out! When they come back on, we discover a piece of art is missing. Who dunnit? Everyone pleads their innocence as the detectives investigate.

Impressions

By Rene BeVier Dill

Middle School (6th-8th)

🕕 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM

PERFORMANCE: August 1st, Time TBA

This play explores the word “impressions” and its many meanings, from dressing to impress, to getting the wrong impression, to imitating someone, to making an impression–good or bad. Perhaps the ultimate message is that the best way to impress others is to be yourself!

For the safety of other students and staff we ask all students that are eligible be vaccinated. If you have questions or concerns regarding this, please email Education@SPARCtheater.org
