Albuquerque: Schooltime Shows & Summer Camps @ The Box Perfomance Space

SCHOOL TIME SHOWS

SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK LIVE! JR.
School Time Performances
Tickets $4.00
Thursday April 10th 10:00am and 1:30pm
Friday April 11th 10:00am and 1:30pm

Tom, a school teacher nervous about his first day of teaching, tries to relax by watching TV. Suddenly, the Schoolhouse Rock bunch appear in his rec room and proceed to show him how to win his students over with imagination and music, through beloved Schoolhouse Rock songs that cover a variety of subjects: math, science, history and grammar.
A loose, revue-like structure allows for a great deal of flexibility in staging and cast size from number to number as well as for the entire show. Set and costume design can be as simple or complex as your budget or imagination allow. And because most of the songs are so familiar and easy to learn, rehearsals are bound to be a snap!
Like the classic television series, Schoolhouse Rock Live! Junior is a hip, entertaining and educational treat that shows young people that learning can be as fun as you choose to make it.

The girls of the Albuquerque Middle School Science Club have made contact with Bennie Wallace, a brilliant boy abducted by aliens from Roswell years ago. He plans to come for a visit to take the girls for a ride in his flying saucer with his new alien friends. Will the girls survive the ridicule from the school football players and cheerleaders? Will the CIA track down the flying saucer before it can land? Is there any hope for Albuquerque in this musical comedy War of the Worlds? Inspired by the 50s classic Earth v. The Flying Saucers, a dash of old musicals, and saturated with music from the 70s to help make the saucers fly.
