American Spirit
Patriotic Theatrical Production

Sunday, October 2, 2011, 2:30pm

AMERICAN SPIRIT It’s the music, moments and memories that make us proud to be Americans.

Join the multi-talented cast as they take you on a powerful journey through the events and people that define the American spirit. Seen through the eyes of a well-meaning, but slightly befuddled mayor of Your Hometown, U.S.A., the show is a rousing 90-minute song, dance and storytelling journey through parade routes and battlefields, town halls and concert halls. You’ll hear Prohibition jazz growing out of Civil War spirituals. And enjoy America’s battlefield and ball field heroes rubbing elbows with entertainers and politicians.

JThe show starts in the town square gazebo and comes marching right down the aisles. Filled with humor and heart, this production will renew your AMERICAN SPIRIT!
