We the People: America Rocks

Synopsis:
Rock out with America's original "boy band"-the Founding Fathers! Join George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin as they trade in their powdered wigs for power chords to help an ambitious teen. On a quest to win her school election, Dawn cares more about padding her college applications than making her school a better place. With the help of these Fab Four, she discovers that "We the People" have the power to raise a patriotic ruckus and make a difference! This new musical is recommended for kids age 8 and up, and their families.
