Three Exciting Sessions to Choose From!
Session One: Backlot Bananza, June 14 - July 2
Welcome to the world famous Act One Studios! You can practically feel the Hollywood history bubbling beneath your feet as gaze up at the iconic Hollywood sign during your tour of this historic film studio. You can't wait to see what's next! Where are the movie stars? Where are the special effects? Where... is your tour group? Uh oh... they're gone!! They've left you behind, and now you're lost! You eagerly look around for any sign of them, but you're soon overwhelmed by the chaos and commotion of the largest studio backlot in Hollywood. You rush down alley after alley, but this place is a labyrinth, and every turn of the corner lands you in a different movie shoot! Did you just run through a zombie movie? Was that a superhero you just bumped into?! Why are there thirty-two singing clowns in a space ship?!! Will you ever find your way, or are you destined to forever be lost in this Backlot Bananza?!
Session Two: Adventure Awaits, July 5 - July 23
The old man with the glass eye had warned you, but you didn't listen. How could he know? He didn't know - didn't understand - what you had to do. Nobody does. No, you were determined to answer this inescapable question that had kept you awake for days: Could the legends actually be true? You never thought it possible... until now. Until tonight's mysterious fog revealed your first glimpse at real magic. And now, staring at the ancient threshold before you, every bone in your body is telling you to turn back. Maybe the old man was right. And yet... you feel an indescribable force pulling you closer and closer to the glowing gateway. Summoning all your courage, you close your eyes and take in a deep breath. This is your moment. This is the chance you've been waiting for. You exhale and open your eyes. A new courage alights from deep inside you, and you let slip a slight smile as you begin your journey- a journey into the unknown. A step forward and a peculiar breeze from the gateway drifts to your ears and whispers, "Adventure Awaits!"
Session Three: Game Show Mania, July 26 - Aug 13
You! Yes, You! Come on down! You're the next contestant on "The Masked Wheel of the Chopped Survivor"! Wait... that can't be right. Let me read that again. *ahem* You're the next contestant on "The Price is an Idol Feud"! Um... the next contestant on, "Whose Amazing Bachelor Voice Is It, Anyways?" What?! "So You Think You Can Drag Race, Ninja Warrior?" Ugh!! "Gladiator Double Dare"! What is happening?!!! No, no, wait! Please don't change the channel! I need your help! All the game shows have gone wack-a-doodle, and I can't make heads or tails out of any of them! How can I call down the next contestant when the games keep changing?! How? How?!! Oh no... they're changing again! Now they're getting really weird: "Hollywood Squares in Space", "Time Travel Cash Cab", "Toddler Fear Factor"? This is madness! Please help! I need you to jump into these crazy games and help me fix this. It's the only way we can stop this Game Show Mania!
