\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 Searcy, Ark., LP \u2014 On November ninth and eleventh, the Searcy High School performed the play, \u201cSchoolhouse Rock LIVE: Junior edition.\u201d \u00a0In order to prepare for the performance, Searcy student actors and actresses worked hard by practicing nearly every day after school. \u00a0Bailey Baker, the senior actress that played George, described how preparation wasn\u2019t too difficult; they just had to memorize lines and remember steps. \u00a0\u201cThe hardest part was knowing where we were in this musical in particular, because it\u2019s mostly just songs and hardly any dialogue.\u201d \u00a0Baker performed \u201cThree is a Magic Number,\u201d and \u201cJust a Bill.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 A<\/span>bby Feather, another senior actress, played the character Dori and sang \u201cA Noun is a Person, Place or Thing\u201d,\u201d \u201cPreamble,\u201d part of \u201cGreat American Melting Pot,\u201d and \u201cElbow Room.\u201d \u00a0Feather stated that being apart of the cast was a great experience. \u00a0\u201cI made a lot of new friends who I instantly became best friends with.\u201d \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 The other songs that were performed were, \u201cUnpack your Adjectives,\u201d \u201cDo the Circulation,\u201d \u201cConjunction Junction,\u201d \u201cInterplanet Janet,\u201d and \u201cInterjections.\u201d \u00a0Bailey stated that of the songs sang, there were a few that were missing, because Searcy High performed the Junior version. \u00a0She said that the junior version was cheaper than the full, which is the main reason why they chose to perform it. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 According to the drama director, Mrs. Taylor, the production was also performed ten years ago in 2007. \u00a0She said that overall, it takes quite a bit of time to organize the crews and cast so that they stay on track and get everything completed in time. \u00a0Musicals are generally expensive, however, Mrs. Taylor stated that this one was neither the most expensive nor the least expensive out of the shows they have put on. \u00a0Though not as expensive or as big as the full version of \u201cSchoolhouse Rock,\u201d the junior edition was just as entertaining. \u00a0Mrs. Taylor\u2019s favorite part was during one of Bailey\u2019s solos. \u00a0\u201c<\/span>I really enjoyed when Abby raps alongside Bailey in \u2018Three is a Magic Number.\u2019”<\/span><\/p>\n
