The Courage To Dream
The Amazing Life of Ben Franklin
Two multitalented actor/singer/dancers bring the charm, wit, and wisdom of Ben Franklin to life, including the perspective of key women in his life. With original songs, clever script, and creative choreography, this entertaining and inspirational production delves into the inquisitive spirit that powered his dreams into reality. Using musical styles of the 1700’s, period costumes, beautiful scenery, and some of Ben Franklin’s own words, we are immersed in the life and times of the most celebrated man of his era!
This engaging musical theatre performance will entertain and enlighten children in grades K-8, and their families. Ben Franklin was America’s first true Renaissance man: printer, writer, inventor, scientist, diplomat and statesman. Despite his humble beginnings and only two years of formal schooling, Ben Franklin changed the world. From his personal writings, we find the tenacity, self-confidence, and imagination that brought his dreams to life.
Franklin’s life and times are brought to life with a creative script by Jonathan Luks. Colorful scenery and authentic costumes transport the audience to the formative years of this country. Mr. Luks uses the musical influences of the eighteenth century to create a rich, yet joyful original score, which will further humanize this American icon, and captivate the audience in his story.
Don’t miss this mesmerizing salute to one of the fathers of our nation!
