This interactive play focuses on the formative years of the United States of America. The Founding Fathers’ story centers on the first four Presidents, our Revolutionary War (demonstrated using playground games), and the four attributes that made our independence unique in history. Those traits are Life, Liberty, Justice, and Representation.
Tickets will be given out 30 minutes before each performance. Priority seating is for children ages 5-11; all others will be allowed in after the k-5th grade group has been seated if space allows.
