Well, grab your Scooby snacks and practice your "Zoinks!" because the jittery Great Dane and gang are back.

Making his stage debut at in 2001-2002 at theatres across the country, including Boston's Wang Theatre (Jan. 9-13) then at New York City's Radio City Music Hall (Feb. 20-27), is Scooby-Doo in Stagefright - Live on Stage. The Warner Bros.

Stagefright will feature the cherished characters from the Hanna-Barbera cartoon, equipped with their Mystery Machine, setting out to — what else? — solve another mystery. Set up as a "long lost episode," the gang will hunt for clues to try to uncover the secret behind a ghost that's haunting an old movie studio where Daphne's uncle is filming a scary movie.

Jim Millan is the director and author of the show with script consultation by Mark McKinney (Off-Broadway's Fuddy Meers and TV's "Kids in the Hall"). Set design is by Robert Bissinger, costume design by Gregg Barnes (Broadway's Side Show and Mark Taper Forum's Flower Drum Song), sound design by Peter Hylenski and lighting design by Paul D. Miller.
