This rousing musical show tells the
The audience sings along to the familiar gospel tunes that became anthems of ‘the Movement’ including This Train is Bound for Glory and We Shall Overcome. We also meet Gandhi and Thoreau who influenced Dr. King's non-violent struggle. Next we explore the far-reaching impact of the Civil Rights Movement on Caesar Chavez, Women's Lib, and the Environmental Movement. The talented three-person cast, with live piano accompaniment, lead a historical ‘revival meeting’ which has audiences dancing in the aisles as we keep Marchin’ to the Freedom Land. (An accompanist and a 1-hour pre-show rehearsal workshop for 8 students is included for school shows.) |
