The Emmy Award-winning 1970s Saturday morning cartoon series that taught history, grammar, math, science and politics through clever, tuneful songs is lighting up the stage! Hunter, a schoolteacher nervous about his first day of teaching, tries to relax by watching TV when various characters emerge from the set and show him how to win his students over with imagination and music, through such beloved Schoolhouse Rock songs as "Just A Bill," "Nouns" and "Conjunction Junction." Truly fun for all ages!
Recommended for Kindergarten and up.

High Praise for MST's Touring Productions
“Your [touring] production of STUART LITTLE was FANTASTIC!!!!
What a breath of fresh air!!! Your energy, talent and creative staging were fantastic.
My 3 year old class was MESMERIZED (now that really is HIGH PRAISE!)
Please let your actors know how much our students and faculty enjoyed it!!!
We look forward to having your back on our campus next year!!!”

“The performance was wonderful! The students loved it. It was for nearly all of them their introduction to both Shakespeare and live theater. How fortunate they were to have Main Street Theater provide them both experiences. The cast worked their craft to captivate their audience. Students are talking about it still. Just yesterday, a student used a phrase from 'Romeo & Juliet' in an essay. In middle school that's very high praise indeed. Please convey our thanks to the cast for their kindness and professionalism.”
-- Warmly,
Dom Zuccone

“Length was perfect … You keep in all the important monologues and soliloquies … Students really loved Mercutio, Romeo, Juliet, and the Nurse - oh and Benvolio - all of them! … Best of all, many students who didn't like the play loved the performance! We have enjoyed having you here for the last two years, and hope to do it again next year!”
