American History in a Flash has some pretense to educating people to History. Not literal history. But to the prevailing themes of American History. By incorporating several Classroom scenes in the play, I want the connection between events and our learning about these events to coalesce. Part of that learning includes seeing (if it is produced) and/or reading this version of our past. I would hope the lasting effect won't be your worrying about my choices of events to dramatize and satirize. There were many I dropped from the cycle so that they could be shown in one evening.
