Oscar’s First Time on Stage, Drama Club & Saying “No, No, No” (1/15/26)

It’s Throwback Thursday on the Zebra Morning Show, and the spotlight is on Oscar’s first-ever theater performance. After years of being around productions, Oscar finally steps on stage for real—and discovers he actually loves it. Mr. Nesi digs into what pushed Oscar to finally join drama club, how encouragement from teachers made a difference, and what it felt like to perform in front of a full audience for the first time.Oscar shares highlights from rehearsal, the post-show celebration, and the moment of walking into the lobby to see family, friends, and administrators waiting to congratulate the cast. From stage lights and ensemble singing to playing a protective (and very angry) dad character, the episode captures the excitement, pride, and nerves that come with trying something new. It’s a great reminder that sometimes the best throwbacks are the “firsts” you’ll remember forever.
