America 1968
Written and directed by Michael J. Miles
Featuring Jackie Allen, Rick Kogan, Mary Peterson, Chris Walz, Tony Dale, Bill Brickey, Steve Levitt, Jimmy Tomasello, Bruce Roper, Bob Bingham and Michael J. Miles
"Stop children, what's that sound... Everybody look what's goin' down."
1968 witnessed American turmoil and heartache. 1968 also provoked some of the greatest music of the era. This performance portrays the year, month by month just as it happened -- music, politics, heartache and humor. The Old Town School was right in the center of the street riots (being located at 333 W. North Avenue in 1968). As a special tribute to the School's 50th Anniversary, there will be a few references in the performance to the "view from Old Town."
