What it’s about: Motley and Spark are young pro wrestling hopefuls who have set off to training camp to uphold their family legacies with the Heels and the Babyfaces. They quickly realize that they don’t fit in, and when they meet at the merch booth, they agree to secretly switch places. As they try to keep their secret throughout the season, they face obstacles and the constant surveillance of the referee. At the final tryout event, the referee exposes them, and they are condemned. Only one character has the insight to challenge the status quo and instigate a change that will alter the league for the better.

Meeting with teachers revealed that many teachers are stressed by the scheduling and logistics associated with directing a musical, and the idea of a "Unit Plan" arose from those meetings. So, over the last few months, we created the first draft of the Unit Plan to accompany “Motley & Spark”! It's full of resources that we hope will help save teachers time and reduce their stress, including:
1. 8-week rehearsal schedule with weekly rehearsal schedule overviews
2. Daily lesson plans for a music director
3. Daily lesson plans for a choreographer/theater director
4. Prop List
5. Mic Plot for various #s of mics
6. Daily HW slides for learning music
7. Costume concept slides
8. Character/Scene breakdown chart
The Unit Plan is still in development and new resources are being added. If you’re interested in reviewing the Unit Plan or have suggestions for what you’d like to see in a Unit Plan, get in touch with Christine at christine@middlekidmusicals.com. She’d love to hear from you!
Tentative Launch Date: March 15, 2026

By teachers, for teachers.
Our musical theater shows are specifically designed for middle school age performers. We want teachers and students to have resources that were truly built for them.
