INFORMATIVE, ENTERTAINING, MEMORABLE PRODUCTIONS
FOR ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOLS
The fantastic story of the great Irish hero Finn McCool is told with vim and vigor and more than a touch of Irish wit. The young Finn and his faithful dog, Bran, set out from their home on Knockmany Hill to offer his services as hunter, poet and soldier to King Cormac McArt. On the way to Castle Tara he learns wisdom from the Salmon of Knowledge. He polishes his rhymes with the Poetry Master of Limerick. He cleverly rids the land of Cuchulain the Giant and arrives in the nick of time to save Cormac's castle from a tricky goblin.

Finding
King Tut
In
1922 British archeologist Howard Carter uncovered the tomb of an Egyptian king
that had lain hidden for over 3,000 years. Carter was astounded by the
magnificent treasures buried along with King Tutankhamen.
This delightful play brings the stories of the dedicated archeologist and the
youthful king together. Audiences will get a glimpse into the rich cultural
history of ancient Egypt, while learning of the skills and persistence of those
involved in archeological digs.
This historical tale is told with a marvelous
sense of mystery and adventure, and, as always, a touch of humor to keep things
lively. Two actors play all the characters. The show runs
forty-five minutes.
Versions are available for elementary and junior high
schools. |
