About the Musical
Long before tourists came with cameras and cell phones, Plymouth Rock sat alone by the sea, wishing for a friend. One day a tiny speck on the horizon grew into a ship that would change its life forever.
Rockin’ – The Secrets of Plymouth Rock invites students and families to hear the rock’s own story — from loneliness and danger to pride and celebration — through narration, humor, and twelve original songs.
The show is designed for elementary performers (especially grades 3–5) and works beautifully on a gym, cafetorium, or classroom stage.
- Running time: ~25–30 minutes
- Flexible cast size
- Simple costumes & props
- Perfect for social studies tie-ins
Courage, community, local history, empathy, and the idea that even something as “ordinary” as a rock can become an important symbol.
