DEARBORN — Students at Stout Middle School have been rehearsing School House Rock, Live! Jr. since February and will be performing to the public inside the Middle School Auditorium at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, April 21.

Under the direction of Dearborn Public School employees Rashid Baydoun and Jim Walters (musical direction), “School House Rock Live Jr.” is based on “Schoolhouse Rock”, the popular educational animated shorts aired during Saturday morning programming in the 70’s and 80’s.

The show features familiar tunes such as “Unpack your Adjectives” and “I’m Just a Bill”, as well as a rousing finale of “Conjunction Junction.” Some of the students were raised on video versions of the songs promoted by their parents; others were unfamiliar with these nostalgic jingles when rehearsals began. Baydoun said students have been working hard to master the harmonies and combine dance and action to bring these cartoons to life.

Tickets are available and may be purchased at show time. Inquiries may be directed to Mr. Baydoun or Mr. Walters at baydour@dearbornschools.org or Walterj@dearbornschools.org
