  3. HERO THE BOY FROM TROY: A NEW MUSICAL ABOUT YOUNG JOHN LEWIS


HERO THE BOY FROM TROY explores the

evolution of an exceptional young man named Jayden, who is stuck in detention with a book about Congressman John Lewis. But like any kid in trouble, he thinks that history has nothing to teach him. Together we go on a musical journey through the decades that shows how the heroes in the Civil Rights movement inspired young John Lewis to protest injustice and get into ‘good trouble.'' As a boy, John dreams of being a preacher who can help others. While he doesn’t have a congregation yet, he does have a loyal group of singing chickens that listen to him as he finds his voice. On a harrowing road trip through the South, John’s eyes and mind are opened to the injustices of segregation and racism, inspiring him to take action. As John meets Rosa Parks and Dr. King and ultimately becomes a leader and American hero himself, Jayden learns how he too can take a stand and be a hero just as John Lewis was. This 45 minute play uses original songs spanning hip hop to gospel, is interactive, and a whole lot of fun for children of all ages and their families.
