CELEBRATING A BIRTHDAY?
Let us create your ZOOM MYSTERY PARTY!
These interactive experiences are facilitated by Luna’s teaching artists and are tailored to each birthday celebrant. For younger children, the Magical Adventure Birthday Party incorporates movement, music, and song into the celebration. With the help of a narrator and musical accompaniment, partygoers act out an original story based on the birthday child's favorite subjects. For older kids, the Maniac Mystery Birthday Party is an interactive whodunit in which each participant plays a character in order to solve a crime.
Pricing is flexible to ensure everyone can have a birthday party; more details are available at https://www.lunastage.org/classes.
Each kid plays a character and they can solve a "crime" together!
Email Annika.Franklin@LunaStage.org for details.

Luna is offering these summer opportunities on a pay-what-you-wish basis. Families can donate what feels comfortable, full scholarships are available, and no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Traditionally, Luna’s summer tuition has ranged from $500-1500 for camps and $150-$300 for classes. All tuition directly supports the artists teaching these innovative programs.
These camps and classes are part of Luna Stage’s larger effort to foster creativity and community during the COVID-19 crisis. Information on these and other summer offerings can be found on Luna’s website at https://www.lunastage.org/camps.
Luna camps are supported in part by a grant from the Orange Orphans Society. Donations to support this and other Luna programs can be made at https://www.lunastage.org/giving.
