We Orchestrate Applause!
In an effort to foster a lifelong appreciation
of the arts, Bay Arts Alliance believes in beginning early through Arts in
Education programming. Each year, the programming provides live, quality
performances for over 10,000 area school children in grades 1, 3, and 5
at the Marina Civic Center in Downtown Panama City. Children come from all
over Bay and the surrounding counties enjoy a variety of experiences
including dance, theatre and art at no cost to the student, their parents or
the school. We also continue our only one of its kind programming in
partnership with Bay Regional Juvenile Detention Center. Due to the generous
support of our sponsors and members, Bay Arts Alliance is able to make a
lasting impression on local children through invaluable arts and culture
experiences. Bay Arts Alliance will be presenting the following
performances to our students:

October 8th, 2010 - CSI Live! - 5th grade show
The world’s number one television franchise is about to hit the stage! Mad Science presents CSI: LIVE!, an
exciting, interactive journey through the fascinating world of crime scene investigations. When a crime is committed at the Las Vegas premiere of
the Max Spade Magic Show, the CSI team springs into action. Sydney Mathis and David Hart play the roles of CSI investigators and are on the case,
assisted by supervisor Gil Grissom through a live video connection from the Las Vegas Crime Lab. Audience members will jump up on stage and become
part of the action; becoming witnesses, suspects and CSI recruits. Together they will use their superior logic and forensic know-how to uncover
hidden details, investigate the evidence and test their theories. Whether it’s analyzing mysterious gasses, launching projectiles into a target,
or firing a laser beam across the stage, the CSI recruits will have to be on their toes to help solve the crime before it’s too late! How was the
crime committed? Who is guilty? Only you can find the answers. It’s CSI: LIVE!—join the adventure! (age appropriate for ages 8 and older)

April 4th, 2011- Fancy Nancy - 1st grade show
Six delightful stories come to life in Theatreworks USA’s musical revue Fancy Nancy & Other Story

represent various issues, themes and ideas relevant to a broad and diverse audience of children. Books
featured in the show include:
FANCY NANCY Nancy just doesn’t understand why she’s the only one who appreciated the value of
frilly accessories and a prodigious vocabulary. It’s time to teach her family how to be fancy!
BABYMOUSE, THE MUSICAL Curtain up, light the lights! Will the irresistible, irrepressible
Babymouse win the lead in the school musical or will Felicia Furrypaws steal the show?
DUCK FOR PRESIDENT The winds of change are blowing, and a politically ambitious Duck is
leading the revolution! But can bring a new bill to Capitol Hill?
I HAVE TO GO! Andrew insists that he doesn’t need to use the restroom, but once he’s zipped,
snapped, buttoned, and buckled in the backseat, he hears the call of nature.
LEONARDO, THE TERRIBLE MONSTER Though he isn’t big and he can’t seem to frighten
anyone, Leonardo just knows he can scare the tuna salad out of the biggest scaredy-cat in school!
But maybe it’s better to be a wonderful friend rather than a terrible monster.
PIRATES DON’T CHANGE DIAPERS When Jeremy Jacob’s old seafaring mateys show up to
claim a buried treasure, they wake up his little sister, and the whole piratical crew must go on
babysitting patrol – or walk the plank!
