My Dog Ate the Constitution has been published by Brooklyn
Publishers. Studying for a test on the
U.S. Constitution is boring enough to make you fall asleep! In this hour-long audience-participation
adventure, a young girl does just that and is surprised to meet George
Washington and Ben Franklin in her dreams. Even more surprising is that her dog
is now wearing a powdered wig and claiming to be James Madison. During her
nocturnal romp, she also meets the Articles of Confederation, the Virginia
Plan, the New Jersey Plan, the Great Compromise, the Executive Branch, the
Judicial Branch, the Legislative Branch, the Bill of Rights and other colorful
characters who not only help her learn the facts for her upcoming test, but
instill her with a new-found responsibility for standing up for what is right. My Dog Ate the Constitution has flexible
casting and utilizes songs and games to teach elementary school students
curriculum-based U.S. History in a memorable and interactive manner. A reading
or performance of My Dog Ate the
Constitution is a perfect way for your school to celebrate Constitution Day
on September 17th. To buy a copy of the script, obtain production
