Over the fence: School House Rock Live! in Mountlake Terrace

Madrona Children’s Theatre Performs School House Rock Live!, March 26-29 at Mountlake Terrace High School Auditorium, 21801 44th Ave W, Mountlake Terrace, WA 98043 (map and directions)

Can you recite the Preamble of the United States Constitution? For those who watched Saturday morning cartoons in the 70s or 80s, it's as easy as humming a little tune. If that's the case then odds are good you can also easily recite the definition of a noun, explain what is takes for a legislative bill to become a law and count by threes. This month the Madrona Children's Theatre (MCT) will perform School House Rock Live!

Initially created in 1973 by advertising executive David McCall, School House Rock is part of television Americana. In 1996 many of most popular songs were developed into School House Rock Live! This production is sure to have you singing along to many of your favorite Saturday morning tunes with talented casts of 4th to 8th graders from Madrona K-8 school in the Edmonds School District.

MCT runs two casts of students for each musical it produces every spring giving more students an opportunity to participate. Madrona K-8 is one of the two schools that accommodates students in the district's Deaf/Hard of Hearing program. This year the Inventor cast includes one DHH student with both casts performing the finale song in American Sign Language. The performances on March 26 and March 28 (2 pm) performances will be ASL interpreted. 

Performances: Thursday, March 26 at 7:00 pm* (Inventor cast), Friday, March 27 at 7:00pm (Explorer cast), Saturday, March 28 at 2:00pm* and 7:00pm (Inventor cast), Sunday, March 29 at 11:00 am and 4:00pm (Explorer cast). *ASL interpreted performance
