“Shake It Up With Shakespeare” is part of the “Rise and Shine Series”. This musical for 2-part voices will provide your students with a fun and unforgettable introduction to English literature's most famous writer, William Shakespeare. Shakespeare not only wrote a wide range of plays and sonnets that touch upon all aspects of the “human condition,” he also created words and phrases that are still very much a part of our everyday language. Through the use of an easily memorized rhyming script and a healthy sprinkling of his most famous quotes, this musical serves as the basis for an overview of five well-known Shakespearean plays. The opening song is followed by five musical selections that highlight the essence of the plays featured: two comedies, two tragedies and one history. Along with his ability to expose the darker aspects of human nature, Shakespeare also demonstrated a gift for highlighting the humorous side of everyday life. The six original songs written for this musical are more reflective of the latter perspective of his works. The Enhanced Teacher Edition includes piano/vocal arrangements, rhyming program script as well as choreography, prop, staging and performance suggestions. The enclosed CD-ROM offers reproducible singer and speaking parts. A performance/accompaniment CD is available separately or in a kit with the enhanced Teacher edition. Suggested for Grades 2-5. Performance Time: 20 minutes.

With the popularity of reality TV dance competitions, your students and the audience will be delighted to jump onto the dance bandwagon and participate in this fun filled and uplifting musical! The classic rock songs showcased in this musical have made an invaluable contribution to our pop music culture. Our story takes place in a senior center where all is quiet and calm and perhaps a bit boring; that is until the Center Director decides to use music and dance to bring fun and excitement into the lives of the seniors. Through songs and dances that were very much a part of the seniors' past, the Director, along with friends and family, encourage the seniors to get “off their rockers” and join in on the fun. All of the dances in Off Their Rockers are easy to learn with several different options for performing them. The dances can be performed by pairs, small groups or presented as full cast production numbers. If you are performing the musical with several classes or grade levels, you may choose to assign a different song and dance to each class or level. Songs include: Old Time Rock and Roll, The Banjo's Back in Town, Rock Around the Clock, At the Hop, The Peppermint Twist, Dancin' in the Street. About 25 minutes in length. For Grades 3-6.
