Seminar: Dramawise: Camping with Henry & Tom   

Henry Ford and Thomas Edison, two titans of American ingenuity, were friends and Ft. Myers neighbors. "Camping with Henry and Tom," a delightful and engaging play by Mark St. Germain, centers on an actual 1921 camping trip taken by Edison, Ford, and President Warren G. Harding. Inspired by actual events, Palm Beach Dramaworks' production explores politics and friendship. PBD's Gary Cadwallader leads an interactive classroom discussion about the characters, their relationship, and the play's relevance to today's political climate. Participants receive a copy of the play before class and a comprehensive, informative PBD Dramaguide written specifically for this class. Participants leave with a deeper understanding of the play and its examination of civilization and the intersection between business and government. This program is being presented as a seminar with limited enrollment to foster discussion.
