North Coast Repertory Theatre School Presents YO VIKINGS!

North Coast Rep's newest Theatre School musical, Yo, Vikings!, by Book and Lyrics by Marcus Stevens and Music by Sam Wilmott.comes to the stage on March 29th through April 1st.

When spunky, imaginative Emma Katz is assigned Erik the Red for her World Discovery Day report, she begins to channel her inner Viking, setting off on a real adventure and changing her community for the better. Every time Emma learns something new she wants to become that thing, whether it's a dinosaur, a fox, or a paramecium! Her teacher is afraid to teach anything new for fear of what she might become. Luckily, a wise librarian inspires Emma to uncover the magic of The Vikings in books, and helps her release the inspiration of The Vikings to make dreams come true.

Adapted from Judith Byron Schachner's acclaimed book of the same name, Yo, Vikings! is the mini-saga of the fiercest Viking in Swarthmore, PA, and her quest for real adventure. Yo, Vikings! combines sweeping melodies, thrilling Viking chants, and funky rock 'n roll with a beautiful, heart-warming story to engage and excite every member of the family.
