Nassau Community College will present the children’s musical Schoolhouse Rock Live! on October 17-18 and 23-25 in the Little Theatre.
Schoolhouse Rock Live! — based on the Emmy Award-winning cartoon series that taught history, grammar, math and more through clever, catchy tunes — comes to life in this wonderful musical. 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. The musical contains such beloved Schoolhouse Rock songs as Just a Bill, Lolly, Lolly, Lolly and Conjunction Junction.
Schoolhouse Rock Live! was originally adapted and produced for the stage by Theatre BAM from the series created by George Newall and Tom Yohe. It was based on an idea by David McCall.
Performances of Schoolhouse Rock Live! will be at 2:00 p.m., except for the October 23 performance, which will be at 7:00 p.m. Tickets cost $9.00 per person, discounted to $6.00 for those under age 18. Free rush tickets for college students with a valid current ID will be available for the October 23 performance only. For more information, call the box office at 516.572.7676 Monday through Friday from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
