Skaneateles Middle School Drama Club Presents Schoolhouse Rock Live, Jr!:
The Middle School Drama Club is proud to present Schoolhouse Rock Live, Jr.! Please help us support our Middle School performers who lost their production in 2020 (Beauty and the Beast) due to the COVID-19 closure. This year's group has brought you a 45-minute blast from the past - how many of us remember those Schoolhouse Rock songs that taught us so much in just one little ditty? From Zoom rehearsals to live (under one hour) rehearsals to nearly normal rehearsals at The Rev (formerly Merry-Go-Round Playhouse), these young performers have worked so hard to bring us all a theatrical production during the most odd times! Please enjoy the show and consider donating in any way you see fit to help us get this program back on its feet!
LIVE PREMIERE:

To that end, we need your help and will be holding two community forums to share information about how these funds can be spent and to seek community input in targeting support for our students over the next four years. Parents, faculty and staff ...
