Fear is an underlying theme on the Disney Channel’s hit show “Austin & Ally.” Austin is an outgoing singer and performer while Ally, who suffers from stage fright, is a songwriter who usually works behind the scenes.

But both will be front and center when Ross Lynch and Laura Marano, the actors who portray the show’s lead characters, come to Chattanooga.

The two teen stars will headline this year’s Kidz Expo, presented by the Chattanooga Times Free Press at the Chattanooga Convention Center.

Fans of Lynch and Marano will have the opportunity to meet the stars during an photograph/autograph session at the event. Officials say early arrivers to the expo will have a better chance of meeting the stars.
