A pop culture phenomenon, this Emmy Award-winning 1970s Saturday morning cartoon series turned musical is a joyful journey through history, grammar, math and more! Schoolhouse Rock Live! follows Tom, a nerve-wracked school teacher who is nervous about his first day of teaching. He tries to relax by watching TV, when various characters representing facets of his personality emerge from the set and show him how to win his students over with imagination and music, through such songs as “Just a Bill,” “Lolly, Lolly, Lolly” and “Conjunction Junction.”
This exciting production process allows students to develop friendships, learn about theatre, and grow as performers and people through collaborating with Orlando area professional directors, choreographers, designers, and stage managers.
