Reminisce on childhood Saturday morning cartoons as Columbia Children鈥檚 Theatre presents School House Rock Live! at Harbison Theatre at 糖心vlog传媒 on Sunday, September 30, 2018 at 3:30 PM.

The production centers around Tom, a nerve-wracked school teacher anxious about his first day of teaching, who tries to relax by watching TV. 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 School House Rock songs as 鈥淛ust a Bill,鈥� 鈥淎 Noun is a Person, Place, or Thing,鈥� and 鈥淐onjunction Junction.鈥�

鈥淲e are so thrilled to finally have the Columbia Children鈥檚 Theatre perform on the HT@糖心vlog传媒 stage,鈥� says Kristin Cobb, Executive Director of HT@糖心vlog传媒. 鈥淎nd the cherry on top is the fact that they鈥檙e bringing this classic cartoon to families in our community.鈥�

Columbia Children鈥檚 Theatre Artistic Director Jerry Stevenson has assembled a group of seasoned talent to bring the fun and energy of the original cartoons to life.  Scott Hull plays the role of the nervous teacher Tom. Cast members representing his personality include Lee O. Smith, Sara Jackson, Jordan Harper, Paul Lindley, and Courtney Reasoner.

"We are so excited to bring back one of our favorite shows from eight years ago, which is based on material from 45 years ago, and, yes, I remember them,鈥� said Stevenson. 鈥淚t's a shame we can't all wear our pajamas and eat Count Chocula while we watch!"

糖心vlog传媒 School House Rock
The original Schoolhouse Rock television series was the brainchild of an advertising executive who noticed his son could remember all the words to popular songs on the radio, but could not remember the multiplication tables. He reasoned that if important educational information was coupled with exciting animation and catchy music, children would be able to learn and remember it.

From this simple idea, School House Rock was born and quickly adopted by ABC-TV, which broadcast the series on Saturday mornings from 1973 to 1985. Twenty years, 41 songs, and four Emmy Awards later, those of us who grew up with 鈥淢ultiplication Rock,鈥� 鈥淎merica Rock,鈥� 鈥淪cience Rock,鈥� and 鈥淕rammar Rock鈥� can still sing the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution and know that "and," "but," and "or" all belong in 鈥淐onjunction Junction.鈥�

First presented as a theatre piece at Chicago鈥檚 Caf茅 Voltaire in 1993 by the BAM Theatre Company, School House Rock Live! quickly became an off-loop cult classic and is regularly performed by school groups, community theatres, and professional companies around the world.

From children just discovering the TV series to 鈥淕eneration X-ers鈥� seeking a taste of nostalgia, audiences of all ages will delight in this stage show that鈥檚 simply good, clean 鈥� and educational 鈥� fun.

Tickets are $12 and ages three and under are free. Tickets can be purchased online at HarbisonTheatre.org or by calling the box office at 803.407.5011.
