ZACH Performing Arts School will present premier youth production of a new musical featuring Austin youth ages 12-15. Mafatu's name means "Stout Heart" but he has lived his whole life in terror of the ocean. Now the time has come to face it. Now with his dog Uri, he climbs in to a canoe and sets out on the sea to confront his fears. On the way he will battle sharks, boars, violent storms, and more. Will Mafatu survive to become the brave Chief he was meant to be, or will the sea conquer him after all? Join Mafatu on the journey of a lifetime in CALL IT COURAGE -- a tale of excitement, adventure, and self-discovery on the stormy South Seas!

      Zachary Scott's talented youth program has delivered one of the best live theater performances I've seen in years. Through the hard work of the cast, a wonderful original script, and the talents of director/choreographer Adam Roberts, my wife and I were astonished! The play follows the journey of young Mafatu, the "boy who was afraid". After losing his mother to the waves as a child, he embarks on a journey to conquer his fears and face his inner demons. This is a "story theater" piece, in the style of The Lion King, where actors embody animals, plants, and nature. The simple set comes alive through dance, song, and movement. With force and energy the young performers bring boars, sharks, trees, rafts, and the ominous ocean to life. We were amazed at the talent, energy, and commitment each actor brought. Often both funny and tragic, the show takes you on an amazing journey in just 90 minutes. A wonderful adventure for kids, and plenty of depth for adults. See it while you can! Collapse
