Live Performers at the 2020 Book Festival

Over the past 11 years, the Hudson Children’s Book Festival has hosted several performances on festival day. We have had musical performances by Aaron Nigel Smith and John Farrell who include all children in their shows. We’ve hosted Walter Dean Myers as a keynote speaker who joined us while he served as the National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature. We’ve also had Steve “The Dirtmeister” Tomecek who has put on amazing science shows for us. Come see who we have coming at this years festival!

Columbia County Youth Theatre

School House Rock Live Jr.
Time: 1 pm | Program Length: TBA
Audience Age: ALL

Based on the ever-popular, award-winning cartoons, this fast-paced musical teaches lessons with clever, catchy tunes.

The story follows Tom, a young schoolteacher, who is nervous about his first day of teaching. He tries to relax by watching TV, when various characters representing facets of his personality emerge from the set and show him how to win his students over with imagination and music. Memorable songs as “Just a Bill,” “Lolly, Lolly, Lolly” and “Conjunction Junction” bring his lesson plans vividly to life.

Directed and choreographed by Danielle DeLamater and Produced by Edgar Acevedo, Schoolhouse Rock Live! JR. is a surefire hit amongst audiences of all ages and experience levels.

This production is made possible through the support of the Hudson Children’s Book Festival and Jack Shear.
