In Schoolhouse, we meet Tom, a nerve-wracked school teacher who is freaked out about his first day of teaching.

Full of familiar tunes such as Just a Bill, Lolly, Lolly, Lolly and Conjunction Junction this show promises to transport you back to a simpler time.

If you are interested in being a part of the show, the singing of a song is the requirement. Come as a family! Come with your partner! Come as an individual! Each song is being treated as a mini show in itself with its own “family.” Depending on the number cast, you could be a part of two or more songs with a flexible rehearsal schedule. It’s a perfect show for those whose schedules make rehearsals for book musicals a challenge.

Auditions will be

  • Saturday, May 18th from 2pm to 6pm or
  • Sunday, May 19th from 2pm to 4pm

at 5140 Minuteman Court, Mason

Synopsis: CLYBOURNE PARK explodes in two outrageous acts set fifty years apart. Act One takes place in 1959, as white community leaders anxiously try to stop the sale of a home to a black family. Act Two is set in the same house in the present day, as the now predominantly African-American neighborhood battles to hold its ground in the face of gentrification. Are the issues festering beneath the floorboards actually the same, fifty years on? This excruciatingly funny and squirm-inducing satire explores the fault line between race and property. Inspired by Lorraine Hansberry’s play, A RAISIN IN THE SUN.
