A pop culture phenomenon comes to the musical stage! The Emmy Award-winning 1970s 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 theaters all around the country.
Tom, 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 "I'm Just a Bill," "Lolly, Lolly, Lolly" and "Conjunction Junction."
Character Breakdown:
- DINA (Mezzo) The mature side - thoughtful and grounded.
- DORI (Mezzo) The goofy side - silly and playful.
- GEORGE (Baritone) The romantic side - caring and in control.
- JOE (Baritone) The cool side - laid-back and fun-loving.
- SHULIE (Alto) The sweet side - genuine.
- TOM (Baritone) A young teacher who has just received his degree.
