Casting Call for Children for "Schoolhouse Rock Live"
Kids in grades 2-12 are needed for "Schoolhouse Rock Live". Please see the details below. About the project: A loose, revue-like structure allows for a great deal of flexibility in staging and cast size in this energetic musical, which follows Tom, a young schoolteacher, who is nervous about his first day of teaching. He 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. Memorable songs as "Just a Bill," "Lolly, Lolly, Lolly" and "Conjunction Junction" bring his lesson plans vividly to life.

Please do not wear open-toed shoes. Please also bring a list of your conflicts for afternoons, evenings, and weekends from July 21-September 28. Please try to think ahead and include possible conflicts that may arise when school starts! If you are cast, your conflicts that you bring to auditions will be excused, but directors may not be able to work around conflicts that arise later on in the process.
