General Information
Name of the Play:
Description:
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.

Production Impact
Please list any known resource/staff/budget requirements.
The resources are minimal, but I think the great thing about a show like this is so much could be done with it. It would be a great show to bring in the community, perhaps even the public schools of Terre Haute. Furthermore, a certain type or group of people aren't needed. All the roles are variable.
