The 麻豆色情片 Theatre Department will present a pop culture phenomenon, 鈥淪choolhouse Rock Live!鈥� April 23-26 at the GC Black Box Theatre, located on the second floor of the Fine Arts Building in Room FA-207 at the college鈥檚 main campus. The performance is free and open to the public.
Based on the ever-popular, Emmy Award-winning 1970s Saturday morning educational cartoon series, this family-friendly show brings the magic of the animated series to life, teaching lessons through catchy tunes and engaging performances.
This spirited musical follows a young teacher, who is nervous about their first day of teaching. The teacher tries to relax by watching TV, and Schoolhouse Rock is broadcasting. The cartoon inspires them to search for creative and unique ways to teach students grammar, history and science through fun and music. Catchy songs such as 鈥淭hree Is A Magic Number鈥�, 鈥淚鈥檓 Just a Bill鈥�, 鈥淐onjunction Junction鈥�, and 鈥淚nterplanet Janet鈥� guarantee the kids will be singing along to the tunes while learning.
鈥淪choolhouse Rock Live!鈥� will be performed at the GC Black Box Theatre on the following dates: April 23 at 7 p.m., April 24 at 7 p.m., April 25 at 2:30 and 7 p.m., and April 26 at 2:30 and 7 p.m.
Whether you grew up with the original series or are introducing it to a new generation, this show is a fun and educational experience for all ages. The talented cast and crew bringing the Schoolhouse Rock characters and songs to life with vibrance and energy include Eva Arita, Evangeline Bartkowicz, Elijah Barrie, Lucy Bell, Fiona Burton, Daniella Fink, Aaron Gudz, Alyssa Gudz, Isabella Hernandez, Jackson Pendergrass and Diamond West. The production is under the direction of GC Performing Arts Coordinator, Liz Lacy, and the music is under the direction of Dr. Cindy Kates.
