🎭 Monster Take-Over Was a Huge Success! 👹

This past Saturday, our Y Theater campers in Marco Island gave a fantastic performance in their summer play, Monster Take-Over!

The plot? The monsters lost their "spook factor" and decided the only way to reclaim their scary reputation was to take the ultimate hostages... the parents! 😱 (And they weren't letting them go until their demands were met!)

A huge shoutout to our director, Gina Sisbarro, for writing this hilarious original play specifically for our campers. Special thanks to her entire team for their dedication and incredible mentorship—our campers grew so much under their guidance! ❤️

Thank you to everyone who came out to support our talented kids and enjoy the show! 👏✨
