KIDS + FAMILIES

Katy Visual and Performing Arts Center (KVPAC) presents the KVPAC SUMMER CAMP BROADWAY SERIES:  School House Rock Live! Jr.  Friday August 21 and Saturday, August 22.

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 theatres 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 “Just A Bill,” “Lolly, Lolly, Lolly” and “Conjunction Junction.”

Book by Scott Ferguson and Kyle Hall and George Keating; Music and Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens and Bob Dorough and Dave Frishberg and Kathy Mandry and George Newall and Tom Yohe; Based on the ABC-TV educational animated series which aired from the 1970s -1980s.

Directed by Jonathan Gonzalez.

Mark your calendars today for all the KVPAC Summer Camp Performances.
