License Overview

What the Single-Class License Offers

A simple, classroom-sized license that gives one teacher and one class everything they need to teach, rehearse, and perform Rockin’ – The Secrets of Plymouth Rock with confidence.

In a nutshell: The Single-Class License covers one teacher, one classroom, and one school year. It includes full access to the musical, audio tracks, printable materials, and classroom performance rights—without district-level complexity.

1. Classroom Performance Rights (for One Class)

The Single-Class License grants you the right to rehearse and perform the musical with your students as part of your instructional program.

  • Rehearse scenes and songs during class or after school
  • Perform in your classroom, cafeteria, gym, or auditorium
  • Invite families, other classes, and administrators to attend
  • Repeat the performance during the same school year if desired

Classroom example

A 4th-grade teacher uses the musical as the capstone to their Massachusetts history unit. Students perform once for families at night and again the next week for the 3rd-grade classes— both performances are fully covered by this license.

2. Complete Teaching & Learning Materials

Your license includes the full teaching package so you can weave history, literacy, and music together in one integrated experience:

  • Full script for Rockin’ – The Secrets of Plymouth Rock
  • All 12 songs (vocal tracks and instrumental/backing tracks)
  • Teacher Guide with ideas for pacing, staging, and classroom use
  • Student Activity Booklet (reading, writing, and creative responses)
  • History Units with short readings, discussion questions, and worksheets
  • Printable lyrics and practice pages

Classroom example

Over a 4–6 week unit, students read short passages about Plymouth Rock and the Wampanoag/Patuxet people, discuss what they’ve learned, complete timelines and maps, and then bring it all to life on stage through scenes and songs.

3. Rehearsal & Performance Audio Use

You may freely use the included audio tracks with your class for:

  • Daily rehearsal in the classroom or music room
  • Small-group practice and solo coaching
  • Full-cast run-throughs before the big performance
  • Playback during your final show if you’re not using live musicians

Classroom example

The teacher creates a simple playlist of the backing tracks and shares it on a secure classroom platform (like Google Classroom or a password-protected school LMS) so students can practice at home with their families listening along.

4. Printing & Photocopying Rights (Within One Class)

The Single-Class License also grants permission to print and copy materials for your class for the licensed school year:

  • Print the script for each student who needs a role or reading part
  • Print lyrics sheets for rehearsals and take-home practice
  • Photocopy worksheets, maps, and vocabulary pages from the History Units
  • Print teacher copies, stage manager copies, and a master reference script

Classroom example

A teacher prints one full script per student, plus two extra copies for a counselor and a reading specialist helping with rehearsals. Later, they print a “cue-only” script just for the student running sound and music.

5. Teacher-Centered Flexibility

Every classroom is different. The Single-Class License is intentionally flexible so you can adapt it to your students, schedule, and space:

  • Stage a full musical performance, or a “mini-showcase” of selected songs and scenes
  • Use the songs as a music/literacy extension to your social studies unit
  • Assign speaking roles, shared narrators, or whole-class chorus parts
  • Stretch the project across several weeks or condense it into a shorter unit

Classroom example

In a smaller class, the teacher uses the show as a “reader’s theater musical”: some students read narration, while the whole class sings each song together on the risers.

6. Family- and School-Community Friendly

The Single-Class License is designed with real school communities in mind. You are welcome to:

  • Invite families, administrators, and other classes to attend the performance
  • Share short video clips or photos internally within the school community
  • Highlight your students’ work in a school newsletter or on a password-protected class page

Classroom example

A teacher records a brief highlight reel of the dress rehearsal and plays it during morning announcements so the school can cheer on the performers.

Note on recordings & posting online:
You are welcome to record the performance for private classroom or family viewing. However, posting the full show publicly online, livestreaming it, or using the show for ticketed fundraising events requires an upgraded license (School or District level).

7. What the Single-Class License Does Not Include

To keep things clear and fair, here’s what is outside the scope of the Single-Class License:

  • Use by multiple teachers or multiple classrooms at the same school
  • Use across an entire grade level, school, or district
  • Ticketed or revenue-generating performances
  • Public streaming or posting the full show on YouTube, Facebook, etc.

If you’d like to expand your use beyond a single classroom, you can upgrade to a School or District License so everyone is covered.

8. Is the Single-Class License Right for You?

The Single-Class License is a great fit if:

  • You are one teacher
  • You’re working with one class
  • You want a rich, arts-integrated history unit
  • You’re planning a classroom or small-stage performance
  • You don’t need school-wide or district-wide rights (yet)

If that sounds like you, you can move straight to checkout and start planning your unit and performance with your students.
