Using ingredients found in everyday life, a balloon inflates all by itself, plain water changes colors and disappears, and liquids "magically" become solids. Whether juggling "atoms" and "molecules," or explaining electrons as their hair stands on end (with the help of a VanDeGraaf generator), this delightful show beguiles the audience while introducing simple and effective science concepts.

The importance of courage and personal integrity is presented against the backdrop of the American Civil War in this production of Fourscore & Seven Years Ago.

Even as it exposes the conflicts between patriotism and pacifism, Four Score & Seven Years Ago reveals to young audiences the dilemma of families torn apart by differing beliefs.
With the Onset of the Civil War, the residents of Gettysburg find their lives being turned upside down. Lemuel is a runaway slave who has been employed by Mrs. Mcllheny, a Quaker widow. Lemuel hungers for the right to vote and longs to fight with the Union Army against the South.

A zealous young soldier, Jacob McClain, claims Mrs. Mcllheyn’s general store in the name of the Confederate Army and demands supplies. Jacob is Mrs. Mcllheny’s nephew, but his allegiance to the South overrides his family loyalty. However, Jacob and Lemuel manage to bridge their political differences when they discover that they both grew up in the same Georgia county. Later Jacob is wounded in the Battle of Gettysburg and returns to his aunt to seek shelter. Protecting him from a Union sergeant, Lemuel and Mrs. Mcllheny help him escape safely to his regiment. Lemuel is now determined to make his own contribution to the war and leaves to join the Union Army with the words of Abrahma Lincoln’ powerful Gettysburg Address ringing in his ears.

Arts Power’s patriotic and inspiring Civil War musical, Fourscore & SevenYears Ago, is a story of how freedom can begin with a simple act of kindness.
