Need help with contractions? Up to speed on conjunctions? What is a percentage anyway?
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 theatres all around the country.
Tom, a nerve-wracked school teacher, nervous about his first day of teaching, tries to relax by watching TV. Suddenly, various characters, representing facets of his personality, emerge from the set and show him how to win his students over with imagination and music.
School House Rock, the show that brought delight with such numbers as “Just A Bill” and “Conjunction Junction” will entertain adults and children of all ages in the live production at the State Theatre this December. So Unpack your Adjectives and Do The Circulations and mosey on down to the State Theatre where the Penn State University Resident Theatre Company and The State Theatre combine forces to bring you SCHOOL HOUSE ROCK LIVE!
