Premier Arts presents ‘Schoolhouse Rock’ at The Lerner Theatre in Elkhart

ELKHART — Premier Arts presents an all-youth production of “Schoolhouse Rock Live!” at 3 p.m. March 18 at The Lerner Theatre, 410 S. Main St.

Based on the popular series of educational shorts that aired between 1973 and 1985 on weekends on ABC, “Schoolhouse Rock, Live!” animates the three-minute cartoon features that teach the basics of civics, grammar, math and science. A new segment in the 1990s added finance to the mix.

“Schoolhouse Rock Live!” follows Tom, a nerve-wracked school teacher 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, through such songs as “Verb: That’s What’s Happening,” “A Noun Is A Person, Place Or Thing,” “Sufferin’ Till Suffrage,” “Just A Bill,” “Three Is A Magic Number,” “Zero, My Hero” and “Conjunction Junction.”

Tickets are $27-$14.
