2011's fabulous show is = The Mirth of July
A Musical Romp through the American Revolution
Written by Melinda Croft & Lauren Bailey Lyrics by Beth Riley Music by Scott Gerweck
Adventures In Acting is time-traveling to the birth of our nation - just in time for 2011's celebration of July Fourth!
When we meet our heroes and heroines, they are celebrating their freedom from the school-year. Summer is here, and "We're Free!" But, all is not well. Their test scores were abysmal and instead of the beach, these kids are headed to the dreaded Summer School. Under the tutelage of Ms. Bizbee and her student teacher, Mr. Bustle, the students muddle along, but it quickly becomes apparent that foul play is afoot -- the math teacher, Coe Tangent, and English teacher, Henrietta Thorough, keep disrupting things while the Principal (and his 'yes man' assistant, Yaman) appear to have swum back to Britain.
Between the spying custodians, the meddling teachers, and students' own lack of interest, will Bizbee pull it off? Can the historic characters who "pop in" to assist convince the students that freedom is worth the price? It's a rambunctious view of our founding fathers, jiving to the freedom beat as they attempt to preserve our nation's honor. But will the students learn their facts in time for the dreaded "AHA" Test? Join the fun and see for yourself ~ it's sure to be a good time!!
