Where else can you get your groove on and learn basic grammar and number smarts? On the stage in the Auditorium at Stout Middle School, of course! Students at Stout Middle School have been rehearsing School House Rock, Live! Jr. since February, under the direction of Rashid Baydoun and the musical direction of Jim Walters.
Based on the popular educational animated shorts aired during Saturday morning programming in the 70’s and 80’s, the show features familiar tunes such as Unpack your Adjectives, Just a Bill, and a rousing finale of Conjunction Junction. Some of the students were raised on video versions of the songs promoted by their baby boomer parents; others were unfamiliar with these nostalgic jingles when rehearsals began. Everyone is rocking now, as the students have worked hard to master the harmonies and combine dance and action to bring these cartoons to life.
Please join us! School House Rock, Live! Jr. will appear in the Stout Middle School Auditorium at 7 pm on Tuesday, April 21, 2015. Tickets are available and may be purchased at show time. Inquiries may be directed to:
