It stars Theatre Arts Teacher Scot Pankey and his students and they totally did an amazing job!

Jonathan Vega, the video’s editor and producer, wrote on YouTube that Pankey was the real mastermind behind the now-viral video.

“This is a great example of how a bunch of technology students let go of their fears, trusted their teacher and got down to Uptown Funk,” Vega wrote.

A. Maceo Smith New Tech High School is a magnet school with a focus on project-based learning and as far as projects go this is a pretty good one.

The Schedule:

On Monday, the 22nd of December 2014, 33 of our students will be performing in a play called Love and Information by Caryl Churchill.

One of the many points made by this exhilarating theatrical kaleidoscope is that we live in a world where information bombardment is in danger of leading to atrophy of memory, erosion of privacy and decay of feeling.

On Wednesday, the 24th of December 2014, 19 of our students will be performing the much beloved classic The Wizard of Oz by  L. Frank Baum.

Dorothy Gale is swept away to a magical land in a tornado and embarks on a quest to see the Wizard who can help her return home.

On Friday, the 26th of December 2014, 29 of our students will be performng in the Rodgers and Hammerstein tale The King and I.

Based on the 1944 novel Anna and the King of Siam, and the plot relates the experiences of Anna, a British schoolteacher hired as part of the King’s drive to modernize his country. The relationship between the King and Anna is marked by conflict through much of the piece, as well as by a love that neither can admit.
