Show strikes red, white & blue note


Patriotic show becomes a memorial to the victims of Sept. 11.

Special to The Herald

In memory of those who perished in the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the Sunrise Civic Center Theatre recently hosted Tiki Loves America, a patriotic family show, complete with a history quiz.

The 4-year-old show starred Tiki, a giant talking kangaroo, her baby, Joey, and four Colonial-clad cast members who led Yankee Doodle Dandies of all ages through a singalong.

Home-schooler Nathaniel Artis, 7, of Miramar, won the first prize of the day for getting the name of the first president of the United States correct.

''We just bought a CD with all the U.S. songs on it,'' he said.

In 2000, Bob Guerra, owner and founder of Superstar Productions, wrote the show, dedicated to his nephews who joined the armed forces. He thought it wouldn't sell at any other time but Memorial Day, Fourth of July or Flag Day.

''I never thought I'd make my money back,'' Guerra said.

But after Sept. 11, everything changed.

''We got asked to do Tiki full time, September, October and November throughout Florida and even in New York,'' Guerra said. ``It seems that we get asked to do this show more and more in September now.''

Guerra re-dedicated his show to include his childhood friend, Steven Pollicino, who died on 9/11, and added the history quiz to promote awareness.

''Usually, we do quizzes when we do the Broward schools, so I thought it's interesting how many people don't know about their country,'' Guerra said. ``So we incorporate the questions to help people learn. They come up during the show itself through our songs.''

The Sunrise Civic Center Theatre will celebrate Halloween with a ''slightly'' scary dance program featuring the tales of Hansel and Gretel and Little Red Riding Hood. The audience is expected to come in costume, ready for a dramatic trick or treat after the performance.

The theater is at 10610 W. Oakland Park Blvd., Sunrise.
