The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati:: School House Rock Live! JR. GIVEAWAY

Were you one of those kids up at the break of dawn on Saturday morning watching cartoons?  If the answer is yes, you can probably sing along with me right now to “Conjunction Junction”…what’s your function?!  Oh yes, you remember.

You are in luck!  This February The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati is going to rock it out with SCHOOL HOUSE ROCK LIVE! JR.  featuring the local 80s band, The Rusty Griswolds!  Here is a little more about the show:

The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati continues its 90^th MainStage Season with SCHOOL HOUSE ROCK LIVE! JR. at the Taft Theatre, directed by Angela Powell Walker. Originally conceived and directed by Scott Ferguson.  Book by Scott Ferguson, Kyle Hall, George Keating.  Music and lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, Bob Dorough, Dave Frishberg, Kathy Mandry, George Newall and Tom Yohe.

This musical is adapted from the Emmy® Award-winning educational cartoon that rocked the house from the ‘70s to ‘80s each Saturday morning. SCHOOL HOUSE ROCK LIVE! JR. hits the Taft Theatre stage with a rock-and-roll revue, featuring local rock sensation, The Rusty Griswolds!

Tom is a frantic school teacher who is nervous about his first day teaching. When he turns on his television to calm his nerves, his surroundings come to life and his lesson plan is illuminated. Throughout the show, various characters help Tom create fun and interactive lessons to engage his students in all sorts of subjects. This show features middle school education through song and dance, including classic hits like “Conjunction Junction” and “Three is a Magic Number.”

And what better way to bring this musical to life than through the talents of the incredible local rock band, The Rusty Griswolds. Since 1999, The Rusty Griswolds have been performing; bringing energy as only they can to the best music of the 80s and SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK LIVE! JR. will be no exception!
