Lewis & Clark: A Celebration of American Teamwork

A great American voyage of discovery comes to life in this thrilling interactive production. Your students take on the roles of Lewis and Clark, as well as their Native American guide Sacagawea, the Corps of Discovery and many others as they explore the newly-acquired Louisiana Purchase in Lewis & Clark: a Celebration of American Teamwork. President Thomas Jefferson bought the Louisiana Territory from France in 1803 which effectively doubled the size of the United States. Jefferson asked his personal secretary, Captain Meriwether Lewis to scope out this wilderness, and Lewis teamed up with his friend William Clark to share leadership of the mission. Under the guidance of Broadway stage veteran Patrick Garner, your students have a once in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the hair breath escapes, chance reunions, ferocious animals, and scenic majesty of Lewis and Clark’s two-and-a-half year-long adventure (all in 45 minutes!). Along the way, they’ll have so much fun that they won’t realize all the lessons they’re learning about history, science, character development and teamwork.
