Lyric, a second-grader experiencing reading difficulties, finds an unexpected teacher in Mr. Hartley, the school janitor. Through the help of his made-from-junk robots, Mr. Hartley mentors Lyric, fostering her confidence and equipping her with the tools needed to overcome her reading challenges.
With catchy melodies and a folk guitar score, Lyric & the Keys is a new musical celebrating what it means for young people to believe in themselves enough to do anything – even learn to read. The key has always been inside!
