Great American 4th Of July Parade
Archibald MacLeish
Uncle Snake
by Israel Horovitz
Synopsis
THE STORY: Although filled with modern references and a sense of present day attitudes, the pageant deals essentially with the accomplishments of the Second Continental Congress, and the singular, dynamic men who led it.
One by one they are identified and commented on by the Narrator, as an oversized serpent is put together and paraded about.
In the end the scope of their endeavor is made clear: a Declaration of Independence which will live on in history, and set a pattern to be emulated by all who struggle in the cause of freedom and human dignity.
Particularly suitable for the nation's Bi-Centennial the pageant, with its brilliant theatricality, offers an exciting event for any number of other occasions as well.
