American History in 60

About this event

Produced by The Ritz Theatre Presented by the Ritz Teen Thespian Guild Thursday, November 19, 2026 10:00 AM and 1:00 PM Recommended for Grades 5-8 American History in 60 is a fast, laugh-out-loud comedy that takes audiences on a madcap journey through the story of America. Led by the pompous Professor Bartholomew T. Featherstone and a ragtag group of "historians," the show races through Pilgrims Founding Fathers, the Revolution, Civil War, the Great Depression and beyond-all before the clock runs out. With pop culture mash-ups, game show parodies and sportscaster-style Revolutionary War commentary, history has never been told quite like this. Performed by area teenagers (13-18) the Ritz Teen Thespian Guild will be presenting this show as part of the 250 year Celebration of America. Curriculum Connections: Social Studies, Imagination, American History, Civics. Sponsored by a grant from the Tiffin Metal Products Co. Charitable Fund. This performance is part of our Discovery Series and not part of any subscription package.
