3 Radio Shows "Prelude to Revolution" Part 1, 2 and 3


History Unfolds - 3 Radio Shows 
"Prelude to Revolution" Part 1, 2 and 3

July 4th 2011- Live your Liberty, don't lose it in a History Book

Keri and I invite you again to listen to the three live dramatic "radio play" podcasts based upon letters and documents from the lead up to the American Declaration of Independence. You can hear readings from our nation's past which directly reflect upon our nation's present and future.



 
 
You can Click below to listen streaming from our site at

Part 1 Prelude to a Revolution
Released Jul 02, 2007

Part 2 Spring 1775, The Cost of Liberty
Released Sep 23, 2007
 
Part 3 "Our Lives, our Fortunes and our Sacred Honor"
Released Jun 30, 2008
 
 

We began these series of live dramatized readings in 2007 as our Nation approached it's "birthday". It struck us that the situations and the causes of the American Revolution were as alive today as they had been to our countries' forefathers:
Polarization of political speech, leaders quashing dissent in the press, the imprisonment or detaining of persons without trial or hearing, and the removing of "undesirable persons" to offshore prisons.

The political climate may be changing, but :

"The cause of America and of liberty is the cause of every virtuous American Citizen Whatever may be his Religion or his descent, the United Colonies know no distinction, but such as Slavery, Corruption and Arbitrary Domination may create. Come then ye generous Citizens, range yourselves under the Standard of general Liberty, against which all the force and Artifice of Tyranny will never be able to prevail. I am,
Go Washington"

As people around the world struggle for representative governments, let us not forget that our own democracy was born of decades of economic and violent unrest. The course of freedom seldom runs smoothly. May those who seek the rights of self-expression, self-governance, and liberty find in the voices here, words to encourage their own endeavors.

The Book Of Mormon - FANTASTIC! Pantages Los Angeles


The Book Of Mormon - 
SEE IT!!
HURRY!!

September 5 - November 25, 2012




Absolutely FANTASTIC! 

A MUST SEE at the Pantages in Los Angeles


It is seldom if EVER that I have been in a theater where the excitement was so palpable.  And, it was probably the youngest theater-going crowd I've seen in YEARS!

The voices, the orchestration and the staging were superb! And Clever!!

OK - if you are "language and religiously squeamish" you could find it a bit hard to take in some of the numbers, but my face hurt as I drove home from laughing and appreciating the truth of the themes.

Spontaneous cheers and ovations await!!

From the:
Official Pantages Website


"THE BOOK OF MORMON will conduct a pre-show lottery at the box office, making a limited number of tickets available at $25 apiece; cash only. This lottery will be held prior to every performance except for the gala Opening Night on Wednesday September 12."



Back in September, CBS News' "60 Minutes" aired a terrific story which gives insight into the phenomenon that is THE BOOK OF MORMON. Correspondent Steve Kroft talks to Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of Comedy Central's "South Park," who now find themselves having created, along with co-writer Robert Lopez, the biggest hit on Broadway."
