Our first all-virtual show was a celebration of the U.S.A. and all the special anniversaries that occurred during 2020. Unfortunately, due to Covid-19 many of those celebrations were canceled, put on hold, or done on-line - as was the fall 2020 Drama Jr. show.
Americanarama celebrated...
The 400th Anniversary of the Pilgrims landing on Plymouth Rock
The 160th Anniversary of the Pony Express & Cowboy Poetry
The 150th Anniversary of Major League Baseball
The 100th Anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment & women getting the vote
The 90th Anniversary of "The Star-Spangled Banner" becoming the National Anthem
The 75th Anniversary of the end of World War II & a salute to unsung heroes
The 70th Anniversary of the Peanuts comic strip with Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the whole gang
In addition there were tributes to the musical and creators of West Side Story, the history and importance of Juneteenth Day, Native American myths, and iconic Americans like Harriet Tubman, Jackie Robinson, and Wataru Misaka.
Our cast members were given the script to each of these vignettes. Costumes and props were collected and distributed to them at their homes. Each student, with help from siblings, parents or other family members recorded their separate scenes which were then sent to the five staff members/directors who edited them to create our full length show Americanarama. If you click on any of the vignette titles above, you'll be sent to that YouTube video. If you enjoyed watching them, you can watch the full show by clicking on the logo below.
