Mafatu's name means "Stout Heart," but he has lived his whole life in terror of the ocean. Now the time has come to face it. With his dog Uri, he climbs into a canoe and sets out on the sea to confront his fears. On the way he will battle sharks, boars, violent storms, and more. Will Mafatu survive to become the brave Chief he was meant to be, or will the sea conquer him after all? Join Mafatu on the journey of a lifetime in CALL IT COURAGE -- a tale of excitement, adventure, and self-discovery on the stormy South Seas!

About ZACH Showstoppers - This pre-professional youth performance troupe was created in 2008 by ZACH Theatre’s Performing Art School, in collaboration with Jaclyn Loewenstein, Adam Roberts and the late Lana Leeds to provide middle and high school students with intense preparation for a potential career in musical theatre. Students audition annually, and accepted members receive weekly training in musical theatre technique and learn fully-choreogaphed production numbers. The Showstoppers present the numbers at major events in and around Austin. The 2009-10 Company was recently featured in ZACH’s Stagehand’s Cast Call benefit, A Texas Christmas Carol at the Long Center, and at ZACH’s 2010 Red, Hot and Soul fundraiser.
