Assemblies
Our plays are performed in-the-round, to create an even greater intimacy and flow of imagination between the actors and the audience. We perform our shows with minimal sets but with LOTS of fun PROPS and COSTUMES. Each play includes plenty of audience participation!! All shows are approximately forty minutes in length.
Fussy McBother by Joanne Green and Will Martin
Everyone has days when nothing seems to go their way. But, if you're a
bird named Fussy McBother, every day is like that! Fussy complains SO
much, he's even forgotten what makes him so special in the first place
- that he can FLY!! Until the Lovely Miss Lively appears on the scene,
that is. With her brimming optimism, Miss Lively gets Fussy to start
singing a new and happy tune!
*Includes historical information about some of our most prominent national monuments.
The Mayflower, the Pilgrims and the First Thanksgiving by Michael Palladino
A highly amusing and informative look at the journey of the Mayflower
and the Pilgrims' first Thanksgiving celebration, as told by a typical
American family, a French teenager, a Sports announcer, a hairdresser
and a Yorkshire terrier!!! And let's not forget the all-time audience
favorite . . . TURKEY MAN!!!
Incredible Inventors by Joanne Green and Connie Loughlin
From Alexander Graham Bell to Albert Einstein and the Wright Brothers,
this wildly entertaining play examines the courageous risk-taking
behind some of our nation's greatest inventions. The play will also
take a look (with an audience panel quiz!) at some of our lesser known
inventors. (Do you know who invented POPCORN??) The show concludes with
a fabulous improvisational ending where some of the audience members
will get to become inventors themselves.
Great Women Throughout History by Rebecca Pomeroy
In this freewheeling and funny romp through history, a magical time
machine allows Amelia Earhart to have tea with Georgia O'Keefe, while
Louisa May Alcott and Madame Curie find themselves shopping in a mall!
These are just two of the delightful scenes that will entertain and
inform young audiences of any age. Other appearances include Susan B.
Anthony, Rosa Parks, Annie Sullivan and Betsy Ross. There is also a
special MYSTERY GUEST that children everywhere are sure to love!
Men Who Dared To Dream: Stories of Martin Luther King Jr., JFK and FDR by Brian Mcnab
This moving and uplifting play follows the life stories of three
extraordinary American leaders who changed the political and moral
landscape of our country. Students will participate in peace marches
and feel what it is like to be asked to 'move to the back of the bus.'
Audiences of all ages will be inspired and moved, as they are reminded
of the brave and bold messages of hope and peace that each of these men
offered to a turbulent nation.
Christmas Genie by Alan Katz
Drawing inspiration from the classic Dickens tale, "A Christmas Carol"
and the heartwarming film, "It's A Wonderful Life," this hilarious and
touching take includes both original music and classic holiday music!
Audiences will laugh and cry as they follow the story of how one zany
Christmas Genie and three Spirits help a young girl to rediscover what
it means to give freely from a full heart.
