Here
is the story of the Cherokee drama
and struggle, their
forced removal from their homeland
in
the Smoky Mountains.

|
|
The
hero
of this exciting play, Chosen
One, fights
valiantly to save his people. A
fresh look at this chapter
in American
history that sheds light on
current Native American issues. The
play is deeply dramatic and the musical
CD soundtrack
lends power to every performance. It
is the story of one man's
daring and escape. |

"I
escaped. I ran like a scared rabbit back to my homeland. And now I
was like the deer - hunted!"

Producers,
this script is lively
and moves swiftly,
presenting history
and human struggle with
clever dialogue and
quick scenes that build to an exciting
climax. Simple
masks and Indian costumes, a minimal
symbolic set and the use
of primitive drums, make for a
production with elegant
style. Teachers
love the tie-in to American
Indians and Native American History.
Books easily and is written to lots
of creative staging for school tours.
