 Kids On Stage For A Better World Perform Robb Roy Song
Back in April, Graham Strachan of Robb Roy received a letter from Laurie Bartilson, Director of Kids on Stage for a Better World, a song and dance troupe in L.A. who perform socially conscious material. She wanted to know if her troupe could perform the Robb Roy song, "Vitamin R", a song about the dangers of drug Ritalin, and if so, could the band provide them with the musical tracks sans vocals? Click "read more" below. Strachan and the boys agreed, sent the tracks off and a few months later the song was turned into a full stage production. You can watch a video of their "Vitamin R" performance on Kid's For A Better World/Videos page, listed under "Current Performances".

You can read the story behind Vitamin R here and read the lyrics here. If you want to listen to "Happy", visit Robb Roy's Audio Page.

  • Director Laurie Bartilson's daughter is none other than actress Lynsey Bartilson who starred in Fox's Grounded For Life and, among many other gigs, did a couple cameos in That 70's Show (remember when Wade was dating the chick with the wooden leg? Yup, that was Lynsey).
  • The Kids' website is maintainted by Lysey's dad's co., Stan Bartilson & Associates.
  • Lynsey was a founding member of the song & dance troupe along with brother Matt Bartilson.
