Mike Wiley's Tired Souls, historical drama (one show, 3rd-5th <br /> Grades. Tired souls begins with the day Rosa Parks refused to give <br /> up her seat on a city bus to a white man - the catalyst that inspired <br /> Montgomery's historical bus boycott. Tired Souls also introduces <br /> audiences to others who came before Mrs. Parks, who were so <br /> instrumental in lighting a fire under the Civil Rights movement and <br /> changing the course of U.S. history forever. <br /> 2. Charles Pettee, bluegrass music (one show; K-2nd Grades). This <br /> multi-talented musician employs banjo, harmonica, guitar, mandolin, <br /> voice and a variety of hats which introduces you to the wonderful <br /> tapestry of sounds that make up the music of the Carolinas: music of <br /> the Pilgrims, native Americans, African-Americans , Piedmont Blues, <br /> Gospel and Bluegrass. There is never a dull moment as Mr. Pettee <br /> switches songs or hats, encouraging rhythmic clapping and <br /> spontaneous discussion throughout the show. <br /> 3. Curious Theatre Collective's Creekside: The Journey of a Young <br /> Activist, theatrical performance (two shows; All Grades). The show <br /> tells the story of Mia, a young girl who discovers something wrong <br /> with the creek behind her house and sets out to make it better with <br /> the help of four famous female environmentalists who happen to <br /> wander by. Through music, audience participation, and narrative, <br /> students dive into concepts of environmental justice, <br /> interconnectedness, youth activism, and responsibility. This show <br /> was developed with support from the Orange County Arts <br /> Commission. <br /> Project Start Date 10/19/2019 <br /> (no earlier than July <br /> 1 , 2019) <br /> Project End Date (no 3/20/2020 <br /> later than June 30, <br /> 2020) <br />
