Homeschool Performance Workshop: The Secret Life of Kid Mario

Before the mushrooms, the mustache, and the boss battles, Mario was just a kid with big dreams and a knack for getting into trouble. In this imaginative origin story, we meet young Mario, his curious brother Luigi, and a cast of surprising characters as they uncover secrets beneath the streets, face off with playground rivals, and discover what it really means to level up. Inspired by the world of Mario, this brand-new play is full of heart, humor, and a few unexpected power-ups!

This program is designed for homeschool students who want to perform!  Performance Workshops emphasize both the journey and the artist. Each actor receives a role in the show, immerses themselves in the rehearsal process, and explores character development through the actor’s toolbox. These fun and engaging productions offer a unique opportunity to build confidence, forge lasting friendships, and deepen your understanding of theatre!
