Creative Arts Theatre Presents: The Buzz on Tuesday, April 8, at 10:30 AM
Creative Arts Theatre will take young audiences to the annual spelling bee at Martin B. Hive K-8! All fourth graders must take part, but how can Sabrina Carpenter Ant face her greatest fear of speaking in public? Through the guidance of Miss Bumble, new friends, and the entire school, Sabrina learns that the biggest challenge of all might be quite small. The play explores fundamental vocabulary and spelling tools, scientific facts about bugs, and how to navigate the moments where finding confidence within yourself feels harder than spelling M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I. Best for ages 4 and up. Admission is free. Register in advance at NewTampaArtsCenter.org/Tickets.
