Programs: Characters with Character

[ Program Details ] [ Physical Requirements ] [ Student Activities ] [ Teacher Resources ] 

"Mark Twain" begins this action-filled programming describing how we can control our own destiny if we have the will and the courage to follow our heart and stick to what we believe. He also describes the importance of his own family, both growing up as an adult. All of this, along with a sample of one of his stories is delivered with much humor.

Then, our performer appears out from the costume and make-up to bridge to our next hero, Thomas Edison, a the while resetting the set, applying makeup and donning a new costume.

Mr. Edison shows how time management and hard work are the real secrets to genius "Genius is 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration."

Our performer appears once more to bridge to our last hero, Abraham Lincoln. We learn from him the courage to stick to ones values no matter what the pressures, the value of strong family, honesty, compassion and humility.

This is a very entertaining program that does not preach. What it does is much more powerful and subtle. It demonstrates and models character.
