Student Dinner Theater
 

Spy Academy

The nation's most prestigious espionage training academy, Spy Academy , is about to hold its annual graduation. Everyone attending has invested years of grueling effort to become part of the elite group that gets all the glamorous assignments. These lucky few are also the spies who get all the cool new gadgets. The problem is, there's only room at the top for a few outstanding spies.

Your group is divided into teams representing high-level intelligence organizations from around the world. The Head of Spy Academy briefs your teams on the objective of their mission. Next, each team is armed with a briefing package including coded messages, top-secret passwords, audio tapes, electronic bugging devices, and things too tightly classified to mention here.

Participants will break codes, follow clues, retrieve sensitive information and push their mental acuity to the limit. Teams elect members to undertake certain missions based on personal strengths and skills. Some challenges require stealth and cunning; others call on creativity and imagination.

This is not a show. It is a high energy action packed event where the students are involved from the get go and a facilitator with actors guide them through the steps.

Perfect Choice for Performing Group - IT ROCKS!!!

The annual "battle of the bands" is scheduled to occur in Tunetown U.S.A..
Unfortunately the award ceremony site - a beautiful golden bridge which was presented as a gift to the town by native son and famed composer Ludwig
Sebastion Debussey over 200 years ago - is missing ... dismantled and stolen in the dead of night.

Mayor Melodymaker has announced that this year's prizewinners will be whichever band can solve the mystery and find the missing bridge. Each table of students will become a different band, and will battle the other bands by solving musical trivia and brainteasers; composing and performing an original { and often comical } song; engaging in hilarious stunts; and ultimately solving the mysterious whereabouts of the stolen bridge ... all in hopes of being named this years prizewinners.

Fun; fast-paced, and interactive - this entertaining evening of delicious dinner and merry musical mayhem is hosted by Mayor Melodymaker and the competition judges, who " conduct the bands " in various events and award their efforts with clues to lead them to the unknown location of the bridge - and ultimate victory.

Which band will " B sharp " and " composed " enough to restore " harmony"
on a grand " scale " to Tunetown? Who will demonstrate the 'note'able knowhow and creativity to " take it to the bridge"? This exciting night of food and fun is perfect for your orchesra, band and/or choral group - and will leave you singing a song of satisfaction. It rocks!
