synopsis: SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK LIVE! JR. opens as Tom Mizer, a young teacher, wakes up on his first day of work. As his alarm goes off, Tom begins to rehearse his teaching technique. Soon, Tom’s thoughts begin to take life around him. In an attempt to calm himself, Tom turns on the TV. What’s on this morning? Why, it’s Schoolhouse Rock! As Tom gets drawn into the show the first song begins. Tom thinks he may be losing his marbles and attempts to turn off the TV His various alter egos convince him that he is ok. Each of them is a part of Tom’s mind. They’re every person, place, and thing he has ever seen. Tom is still quite unconvinced that he has not lost his mind. Undaunted, the ensemble sings, “A Noun is a Person, Place, or Thing.”

Tom tries to move into his day by looking over his lesson plan, which he feels will be a tough job. George

and the rest of the company assure him that with their help, it will be as easy as one, two, “Three Is a Magic Number.” After the number about the number, Tom remarks that it was, “…the coolest song,” which leads right into “Unpack Your Adjectives.” Tom begins to accept the fact that his thoughts have taken on human form and loosens up a little. He pleads that he has to teach other subjects, like Social Studies, and his new- found helpers are right there for him with, “Just a Bill.” The song reminds Tom just how much he remembered of Schoolhouse Rock! After several more energetic performances of Schoolhouse Rock! favorites, the company feels that they have done their duty and that Tom is ready to teach.
