Kathy Mandry is a versatile composer and lyricist, best known for her contributions to the beloved musical adaptation Schoolhouse Rock Live!, as well as its sequel Schoolhouse Rock Live Too! and the youth-oriented Schoolhouse Rock Live! JR.

Her work on Schoolhouse Rock Live! helped bring to the stage the infectious educational tunes originally featured in the Emmy Award–winning 1970s cartoon series, alongside fellow songwriters like Lynn Ahrens, Bob Dorough, Dave Frishberg, George Newall, and Tom Yohe.

Across these productions, Mandry’s musical and lyrical contributions helped transform classic short-form educational segments into full-fledged theatrical numbers—imbuing them with theatricality, humor, and narrative clarity—so they could resonate with live audiences of all ages.
