Local theatre group Penguin Productions will present “We the People” a patriotic salute to America on July 2 and 3 at 7 pm at the Renaissance Theatre in Lake Mills. The show features adults and kids and is directed by Cathy Daley Bond. Veterans will receive free admission; adult tickets are $6 with students at $3. They will be available at the door.
Through a series of sketches, organized phrase by phrase from the Preamble, the presentation shows not only how the Constitution applies to our past, but also to our present and future. Everyday life is showcased in both funny and poignant vignettes, offering a variety of moods as it explores the deeper meanings of the language of the Constitution. From two neighbors arguing their constitutional rights to have crab grass to an immigrant’s heartwarming story of coming to America, this Norman Rockwellesque review offers slices of life in America. Spelling bees, parades, letters home from war, all become part of this patchwork quilt of American life. This play will serve as a reminder that the remarkable words written by our forefathers many years ago are still a living document and part of our lives each and every day.
The Renaissance is located at 412 W. Madison in Lake Mills. For more information call Jill at 920.285.1986.
