“Mr. President, how long must women wait for liberty?”- Inez Milholland This special musical program, starring Kate Campbell Stevenson, brings to life women from history who worked hard to ensure that all women could enjoy the full rights of US citizenship. Vignettes featuring portrayals of Abigail Adams, Eleanor Roosevelt, Alice Paul and Rose Crabtree (from the 1920 All-Woman Town Council of Jackson Hole, Wyoming) highlight the roles these women played in achieving women’s rights - especially their fight to win the vote. This program provides excellent examples of active participation for political and social change. A question and answer period follows the performance. Grades 6-8 |  | Pilamaya Ye | | Pilamaya Ye (Thank you in Lakota) is a program of music and legends celebrating native American philosophy toward the earth and its community. Lou Del Bianco brings children onstage to perform Native American stories and songs about the things we have been given, for "the earth doesn't belong to us, we belong to the earth." Students will leave Pilamaya Ye inspired to follow the paths that the original people lived everyday. This is a character ed and environmental program filled with interaction, participation and reflection. Also great for Thanksgiving! Grades K-3 & 3-6 |  | Preserving Our Planet | A Program On Environmental Awareness Environmental problems are real and they affect all of us. Children often feel they have no control over the future of our planet and are powerless to change the outcome. This original program created by Scot Cannon focuses on individual responsibility as the answer to saving the Earth. Using storytelling, movement and active audience participation, Scot encourages students to be aware of the environment and the need for change. He helps them understand the causes of pollution and the importance of conserving water, energy and natural resources. He assures students that they do have the power to “preserve, conserve and give our planet what it deserves” - explaining the little things they can do to make a difference. Scot believes that teaching children to protect the world is the answer to preserving our planet, and his entertaining, encouraging manner inspires the children to believe it too. Grades K-6 |
