Space School Musical

Creative Team

Created by Kellee McQuinn of KidTribe for NASA's Discovery and New Frontiers Programs

Adaptation by Dakota Players

Costumes - Jen Luke / Katryna Preston Lowery

Set Design: Molly Wilson / Becky Moser

Graphic Design: Kari Powell

Hannah is trying to finish her science project - a model of the solar system. But there’s a problem: it’s due tomorrow, she’s not finished yet, and it’s past her bedtime. How will she get it done? With a little help from her friends – the most talented troupe in the Milky Way!

Join Hannah on a trip through the solar system in this ultra-cool edu-tainment “hip-hopera” that is out of this world! Move and groove along with the planets, moons, meteors, comets, asteroids and even some rockin’ scientists as they sing, dance and serve up the freshest facts in the galaxy.

Space is definitely one cool place.

Space School Musical is an engaging, interdisciplinary learning experience. It is designed for the "whole child," to help enhance kids’ visual and performing arts abilities as well as physical fitness levels, life skills, and decision making processes.

Show length: approximately 40 minutes
