Yo, Vikings!

Adapted from Judith Byron Schachner's acclaimed childrens' book of the same name, YO, VIKINGS! is the mini-saga of 10-year-old Emma Katz and her quest for real adventure. Inspired by her homework assignment to write a report on Erik the Red, Emma's fantastic Viking daydreams come to life in this rollicking adventure full of sea songs and outrageous helmets. YO, VIKINGS! will engage and excite every member of the family with sweeping melodies, thrilling Viking chants, funky rock 'n roll, and a beautiful, heart-warming story.

Q&A with the Playwright and Composer

YO, VIKINGS! was adapted into a musical by Sam Willmott and Marcus Stevens (an alum of Point Park University!).

They have one warning for new audiences: "Hold on to your horns ... adventure awaits!" Read what Marcus & Sam had to say "About the Show"
