If you are looking for an energetic, colorful, fast-paced musical with zany, loveable characters that just happens to be educational, then look no further! The creators of Schoolhouse Rock Live! have returned with more of your favorite instructional tunes!
Like its predecessor, Schoolhouse Rock Live Too! draws its inspiration from the Emmy Award-winning Saturday morning cartoon series, popular in the 1970s. Far from outmoded, however, Schoolhouse Rock Live Too! is full of modern lyrics, catchy melodies, upbeat dance sections, and witty banter.
Audiences of all ages will fall in love with Nina, the owner of a fading diner and her wacky friends. Together, this charismatic crew (made up of a friendly waitress, a “regular” at the diner, a chef, and a first-day schoolteacher) tries to brainstorm ways to save their run down diner. As they reject one idea after the next, they remain encouraged by songs from their favorite show, Schoolhouse Rock. Songs like The Rockin’ Medley, Electricity, Dollars and Sense, and Good Eleven. In the end, they realize that the answer was right in front of them all along…the Conjunction Junction Diner is up and running and open for business!
And you thought Plays-in-the-Park only did outdoor shows! Well, in October, we actually build a heated and covered extension to our backstage space in the very same building where we do our summer shows, effectively creating an indoor black box theater!
This is where we do our annual Children's musical theater presentation. We are able to seat 150 people. This has NOTHING to do with the State Theater - that is where we present JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT
annually in December.
