A pop culture phenomenon comes to the musical stage! The Emmy
Award-winning 1970's Saturday morning cartoon series that taught
history, grammar, math, science and politics through clever, tuneful
songs is not only making a small-screen comeback, instructing a whole
new generation to ?Unpack Your Adjectives? and ?Do The Circulations,?
it?s lighting up stages everywhere, from school multi-purpose rooms to
university and regional theatres all around the country. brbrTom, a
nerve-wracked school teacher nervous about his first day of teaching,
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.? brbrWith
its minimal band, set, costume and flexible cast requirements, the show
may be performed in virtually any space, bringing its infectious zest
to a cross-generational audience. Children just discovering the TV
series to ?Generation X-ers? seeking a taste of nostalgia will delight
in this sure-fire entertainment that?s simply good, clean ? and
educational ? fun.brbrTom, a nerve-wracked school teacher nervous about his first day of teaching, 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 beloved ?Schoolhouse Rock? songs as ?Just A Bill,? ?Lolly, Lolly, Lolly? and ?Conjunction Junction.?
