Synopsis:
Meet Zari Tyler - prima ballerina, star performer, and the ultimate friend. She's on a roll - not only is she in a performance of The Nutcracker, but she's been cast as the lead for her school's production of Annie, Jr.! Now she just has to keep up with school rehearsals, dance practice, and helping market the musical with her best friend Mia and her new friend Sarah. Easy!
But collaborating with friends isn't as easy as it sounds, and with both performances coming up, as well as this maybe being her last year going to the same school as her friends, it feels like time is running out faster and faster. Can Zari juggle it all, or is it already curtain call for her?
