Friday, May 10th at 6:30pm in the Budarz Theater
An adventurous teenager sails out on a daring mission to save her people. During her journey, Moana meets the once-mighty demigod Maui, who guides her in her quest to become a master way-finder. Together they sail across the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous monsters and impossible odds. Along the way, Moana fulfills the ancient quest of her ancestors and discovers the one thing she always sought: her own identity.
An interactive movie experience happens when you watch a movie, have a script of cues plus a bag of props and you do certain actions at certain times during the movie. For Moana, you’ll be encouraged to sing when a song begins, cluck like a chicken when Hei Hei appears on the screen and more! Costumes are encouraged!
Bags of props will be available to the first 20 people.
Popcorn and water will be provided. Register here.
