  • 1.  Historical play on 19th-century Orphan Trains

    Posted 04-03-2023 09:57

    IF YOU'RE LOOKING to present educational theatre that can make a difference in our world, you might want to check out Orphan Train, The Musical.

    The 90-minute drama relates the trials and triumphs of America's first formal venture into "saving surplus children" - what we now know as the modern foster care system.

    Created by L.E. McCullough (book), Michael Barry Greer (lyrics), Doug Katsaros (music) and directed by Patricia Birch, Orphan Train, The Musical is now available for licensed performance.

    It is a timely American story depicting one of our nation's most powerful grass-roots movements for social change … told by the children who lived it.

    * Full booking and licensing info here.

    This is neat! I just finished doing The Hello Girls, which is about the first women in the US Army during WWI.
