You guys, there are whales and zombies at Columbia Explorers Academy

School Shows

In 1970, Sears began construction on the Sears Tower, (now the Willis Tower) and finished three years later in 1973. It is the largest building in the US.

Captain Ahab Frankenstein Lacy Campbell has been building a blown up 30-foot (30-FOOT!) humpback whale deep in the halls of Loyola Park out of duct tape and garbage bags. And she is finishing it tonight!

And it’s really awesome, and way better than the Willis Tower.

WHALE CONSTRUCTION:

What else is happening in the Columbia Explorers’ show?

Oh, just evil poisoned hot dogs that turn you into zombies, cats eating the town, lazy librarians who won’t do their jobs, a glue stick that can talk and read your mind, and a little bit of an equestrian class.

Do you have any idea of the emotional preparation and stress of portraying a boy who has been poisoned by an evil hot dog and now has to be a zombie forever?!! It’s HARD. Hard on the brain. brains… brains… brains…

Gotta go! Time to rehearse. See you soon Columbia Explorers!
