“Schoolhouse Rock Live!” brings to life the four-time Emmy Award-winning 1970s Saturday morning cartoon series “Schoolhouse Rock.” The cartoon series, which taught history, grammar, math, science and politics through clever songs, has made its way to the stage where Tom, a school teacher who’s nervous about his first day of teaching tries to relax by watching TV. As he watches, various characters emerge and show him how to win his students over with imagination and music. The production features such beloved songs as “Conjunction Junction,” “Three is a Magic Number” and “Just A Bill.”

“The Laramie Project” was born out of the brutal and savage murder of Matthew Shepard in 1998. In the year and a half following the murder, Moisés Kaufman and fellow members of the Tectonic Theater Project interviewed more than 200 residents of Laramie, Wyo. to create what is now known as “The Laramie Project.” The production chronicles the life of Laramie in the year after the murder, using eight actors to embody more than 60 different people in their own words.
