School House Rock! Jr.
Spring 2010
I was as young as the youngest members of the cast here today when School House Rock first aired on television and I still remember them all vividly. I watched cartoons every Saturday morning and, as one of our actors says in the show, I had no idea how much I was learning between bowls of Cocoa Puffs! Adjectives, Nouns, Conjunctions...these were things I learned while having fun and doing what I loved to do. (Watch TV!) I'm thrilled that this cast now has the same type of experience, although I certainly am jealous that they get to act, dance and sing all these songs instead of just watching them! The rehearsal process has been a blast, and this is one of the cast has done such a fantastic job bringing these wonderful songs to life, and returning me to my childhood. I hope you enjoy the show as much as we all have putting it together for you. And if you want to grab a bowl of Cocoa Puffs, be my guest! -Michael Champlin
