La Costa Meadows

Show Information

The Emmy Award-winning Saturday morning educational cartoon series and pop culture phenomenon is now the basis for one of the most fun and easily mounted musicals ever to hit the stage, Schoolhouse Rock Live! JR.

Schoolhouse Rock Live! JR. follows Tom, a young school teacher, 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 “Unpack My Adjectives,” and “Conjunction Junction” bring his lesson plans vividly to life.

NEW STRUCTURE:

La Costa Meadow’s production will transition into a mini musical format. This will be an after school class with a one day 30 minute performance at the end to showcase what we have learned. Rehearsals will be one day per week learning select songs, scenes, and dances from Schoolhouse Rock Live! This will not be a full production, but we will have some props, a small set, and costumes will be created by the cast members in their team color. We are excited to try out this new format at LCM! 

How our program works! 

At the elementary school level our program registration is on a first come-first serve basis. We will have a limited amount of spots open on our registration day. Once you register your student they are automatically in the production! If all spots are taken then you can email us to be placed on a waitlist. We will send out an email by the end of that week with additional information. 

At the first few classes, your student will work with our Music Director and Director so they can become familiar with the songs and start preparing for their audition! Yes, each student will still have to audition so we cast them in an appropriate role for the production! Some students might get a leading role and some will play an ensemble role, but ALL roles are vital in the telling of the story!
