SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK LIVE!
APRIL 24TH - 26TH
A pop culture phenomenon comes to the musical stage in Schoolhouse Rock Live! The Emmy Award winning 1970s Saturday morning cartoon series that taught history, grammar, math, and more through clever tuneful songs is not only making a small-screen comeback, it’s lighting up stages everywhere – from school multi-purpose rooms to university and regional theatres all around the country. Schoolhouse Rock Live! follows Tom, a nerve-wracked schoolteacher who is nervous about his first day of teaching.

DRAG QUEEN STORY HOUR THE MUSICAL
JUNE 6-8
Dedicated to Scarlet Sagamore, the original canceled Drag performer from the violent protests at Rockwell Falls Public Library that made national headlines last year, this wild ride is a microcosm of the 141 violent Drag protests that marginalize gay youth, pitting fundamentalist homophobes against woke Yoo-Hoos as they wrangle over free speech, religious intolerance, identity and inclusion, responding to hate with humor and hope. All-star cast, melodic score, pointed but never preachy, a rallying cry during Pride month to Be who you are!

AMERICAN IDIOT
JUNE 27TH-JULY 6TH
Broadway Upstate is excited to present this The two-time Tony Award-winning hit musical Green Day’s American Idiot, based on the Grammy Award-winning multi-platinum album, boldly takes the American musical where it’s never gone before. This high-octane show includes every song from Green Day’s album, American Idiot, as well as several songs from its follow-up release, 21st Century Breakdown.
Johnny, Tunny and Will struggle to find meaning in a post-9/11 world. When the three disgruntled men flee the constraints of their hometown for the thrills of city life, their paths are quickly estranged when Tunny enters the armed forces, Will is called back home to attend to familial responsibilities, and Johnny’s attention becomes divided by a seductive love interest and a hazardous new friendship. An energy-fueled rock opera, American Idiot, features little dialogue and instead relies on the lyrics from Green Day’s groundbreaking album to execute the story line. Staring Tyler Vaughn, Raphael Cohen, Aidan Echeandia, Lauren Risley, Kylie Tripp, Ainsley Martell, Peyton VanDerheyden, Christopher Buettner, Xander Jenkins, Hailey Dupuis, Brock Whaley, Rebecca Bammert, Hannah Blakeslee.
