Cast of around 25, Duration around 10 - 20 minutes.
This class play on the history of astronomy and star gazing has a cast dating from prehistory to the present day! Quite a challenge (as always!) for our narrator! Most at ease with 'civilized' Ancients', there are still those tricky moments with tricky characters - like overly curious astrologers!
Lots of fun rock music as always to enhance this star cast performance!

Go Obama! A children's version of Obama's Inauguration Speech
I wrote this the day after the inauguration of Barack Obama. It is his speech in essence, but divided among 31 speakers - this number easily adaptable, up or down.

I was inspired by the speech and thought this would be a great resource to have, to either read in the classroom or to actually perform. With Presidents Day coming up (plus birthdays of Lincoln and Washington) it could be used in a discussion of what makes a pres
