SUMMER CHILDREN’S SHOW
July 17, 18 and 19, 2008
Carlisle High School Swartz Auditorium
Schoolhouse Rock Live! Jr.
Our second annual summer musical for our younger age range, 10 to 15. Tom, a school teacher nervous about his first day of teaching, tries to relax by watching TV. Suddenly, the Schoolhouse Rock bunch appear in his rec room and proceed to show him how to win his students over with imagination and music, through beloved Schoolhouse Rock songs that cover a variety of subjects: math, science, history, and grammar. Like the classic television series, Schoolhouse Rock Live! Junior is a hip, entertaining and educational treat that shows young people that learning can be as fun as you choose to make it.
