April is the Fine Arts Celebration. Starting off this celebration is a Mainstage Southwest Minnesota State University theater performance entitled: School House Rock! This show had its grand opening on April 11 despite the snow that fell.

Alec Otto, a performer in School House Rock!, answered a few questions for the spur.

Spur: What parts in School House Rock do you perform in?

Alec: I am a chorus member. I am in pretty much everyone song, except the strictly female ones.

Spur: How do you like School House Rock having performed it several times now?

Alec: Well, I really like the energy of it.  [School House Rock] is really cutesy and funny, and just fun to do.

Spur: In general, what’s your favorite part in School House Rock?

Alec: I really like Inter-planet Janet, because I get to be Pluto! It’s pretty great.

Additional shows will also be performed April 19-21. Thanks to the weather, all shows, except for the elementary school matinees, are free for SMSU students with a valid ID.
