Description
The World is Round
Christina and Pablo are desperate to see the world, so they volunteer for the next ship to leave town. Unfortunately, they find themselves on a ship captained by a madman called Christopher Columbus. He claims that the world is round and that if they sail far enough West, then they will eventually arrive in the East. Will they make it to the East or will they fall off the edge of the world?
“Our Sixth graders just finished a performance of “Christopher Columbus: The World is Round?”. They did a great job with a very fun and quite clever script! Thanks for making musicals available specifically for kids! They had a great time and it was a wonderful performance!
