Mobile Ed Productions presented Benjamin Franklin, an amazing American, inventor, author, printer, politician and "Founding Father" who inspires young and old alike to be the best they can be.
The presentation was a one man production using incredible props, a beautiful set, music, stories, interaction, authentic costuming, and the character of Ben Franklin. The presenter's amazing likeness of this great American helped students immediately identify with the character. From the moment he walked on stage the audience felt they were in the presence of living history.
Students had fun participating in "Old time" typesetting as they heard of Ben's early years as an apprentice in his brother's print shop. They also heard familiar and unfamiliar quotes from Poor Richard's Almanac. And of course, the famous kite and key experiment was relived by using a Van de Graff generator to the amazement and amusement of the students.
The presenter then performed a theatrical replica of Mr. Franklin's favorite invention, the glass harmonica.
