Everybody’s Watching: The Making of The Constitution, is performed by a cast of young professional actor/singers whose personalities immediately relate to young audiences as well as adults. The group of four young men and two young women start as typical students who say "We hate history! It’s boring!" and in the course of an hour, they enact the almost four monthsin 1787 when the Constitution was written.
The "students" are transformed, in wonderful costumes and wigs, into Benjamin Franklin, James Madison, Roger Sherman, John Rutledge, Edmund Randolph, and William Patterson.
The music is by Stephen Lawrence, composer of
250 songs for Sesame Street as well as Marlo Thomas’ Free to Be Youand Me. The scripts are written by Mr. Burgess, whose plays and musicals
have appeared off Broadway and who has taught playwriting, screenwriting, directing and acting.
