When America Came of Age

By Edward Miller

At the turn of the 20th Century America had just come of age and the world was full of new wonders -- autos, planes, "talking machines," and the first movies. Ragtime set the pace; vaudeville was king. This musical show from Ed Miller and Lauren James brings this vibrant age to life through the patriotic sons of George M. Cohan, the melodic tunes of Irving Berlin, hits from early Broadway, and hilarious comic numbers from vaudeville. Almost all of the songs are from the first two decades of the 20th Century and present a toe-tapping portrait of a romantic and exciting time. This is also the story of one of our greatest presidents. Teddy Roosevelt did it all -- political leader, rancher, author (38 books on a wide variety of subjects), war hero, explorer, historian, and world renown naturalist. This show about America's most colorful president and happiest time first opened in Medford, Oregon in 2013 and has been brought back every year since that time. In 2019 its creators decided to make it available for licensing --and this book is part of the package. The book, available on Amazon, accompanies the DVD and teaching CD that can be purchased via the author's website: www.waitingstar.com. This book includes the full script, narrator's script, lead sheets and a resource guide.
