"Zanna Don’t – the Reboot!" is a complete overhaul of the 2003 Off-Broadway hit which lovingly flips the script on American history. Tim Acito, Zanna's creator, is directing this production for Theater Q Asbury.
Shamelessly stoopid and unexpectedly poignant, the story follows a group of high school seniors who will stop at nothing to make their small Midwestern town more inclusive, whether that’s through staging synchronized mechanical bull-riding ballets, technodisco military numbers, or slapnasty chess cheers.
When the community is thrown into chaos after two students discover they don’t fit the norm, it’s up to their classmate Zanna – the magical, imperfect, gender non-conforming superhero-in-training – to figure out how to simultaneously honor and expand the town’s cherished notions of patriotism, family values, and love.
