Time to let your kiddo experience the awesomeness of rock ‘n’ roll – but don’t worry, there won’t be any guitar-smashing or curse-word shouting at this gig.
The McConnell Arts Center presents the Shazzbots, a Columbus-based rock band for kids, on Friday, March 22. The evening is more than a show, it’s a pizza-PJ-party! Wear your favorite pajamas and chow down on Worthington-based Pizza Primo & More pizza for a night your little tike won’t forget.
The fun-loving group will light up the Bronwynn Theatre stage at 6 p.m., taking kids and parents on an outer space adventure. Expect to hear original songs such as My Cat’s Name is Peanut Butter, Milkshake! and Bugs Bugs Bugs.
And you can expect an award-worthy performance. The groups’ television show, We’re the Shazzbots, won three Ohio Valley Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Science – aka a regional Emmy award – for directing, editing, and best set design.
For clarification, the Emmy awards given at the popular broadcasted ceremony includes shows that reach 50 percent of the U.S. Regional Emmys are equivalent in credibility, it just doesn’t reach that threshold. The Ohio Valley Chapter includes Ohio, Michigan, West Virginia, Kentucky and Indiana.
