School House Rock Live! is based on the Emmy Award-winning Saturday morning educational cartoon series that is both educational and entertaining. Tom, a nervous school teacher, tries to relax by watching TV. The School House Rock group suddenly appears in front of Tom and soon teaches him how to win his students over in the classroom through music. Audiences of all ages will be familiar with beloved School House Rock songs that cover a variety of subjects, including math, science, history and grammar. Favorites include: “A Noun is a Person Place or Thing,” “Three is a Magic Number,” Unpack your Adjectives,” “Just a Bill,” “Conjunction Junction,” “Interjection,” “The Preamble” and “Interplanet Janet.”

Seventeen children, ages 11 to 13, from eight area schools make up the cast. The director is Julia Krebs; music director is Dr. Mary Ann Mertz.

Ursuline School for the Performing Arts (USPA), a member of Ursuline Campus Schools, sponsored by the Ursuline Sisters of Louisville, is fully-accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, and provides opportunities for students of all ages who either wish to pursue careers in the performing arts or who simply want to enrich their lives through music, dance, drama, or the visual arts. USPA programs are open to the public, complement those offered by other schools on campus, and encourage students to explore meanings, associations and interpretations of their encounters with the arts. In addition, arts integration classes taught by USPA faculty during the school day are an important component of the educational offerings of the other four Ursuline Campus schools. USPA is housed in Angela Hall, with modern music and dance studios, rehearsal areas, and performance spaces.
