Imagine your young ones dressing, talking, and singing like Martians. This out-of-this-world musical is loaded with fun and great music - exactly what you would expect from Teresa Jennings and her products from Plank Road Publishing. It is 15-20 minutes in length and can be performed with groups of almost any size. While its plot is sheer fantasy, it provides the perfect springboard into more in-depth units and other discussions of our Mars exploration and of the morals found in the musical. Here's a good opportunity for other classroom teachers in your school to join you in preparing for a performance of this holiday musical.
As with all of Teresa's musicals, it carries a valuable message about sharing and comes with everything you will need to produce a memorable performance. It features five appealing songs: "Christmas At Our School," "A Reason For The Season," "Follow Me," "The Right Thing To Do," and "Celebrate Out-Of-This-World!". There's even dramatic entrance music for Darph Meanie. The script is simple and fun-loving, and it works with lots of performers or just a class if you like.
The Teacher's Handbook comes with everything you need to produce a successful performance, including detailed notes, plans for scenery and costumes, and even reproducible posters and program cover. The Performance/Accompaniment CD is state-of-the-art, featuring rich orchestrations and top professionals playing real instruments. When a full orchestra is needed, it's there; when it comes to rock, the band is the best, featuring acclaimed performers!
