Written & Performed by Ray Flynt.
The play envisions Ben Franklin, late in his remarkable life, talking with visitors in his Philadelphia home. Franklin's life as printer, businessman, philosopher, scientist, inventor, statesman and diplomat is unmatched – and the audience is invited to hear Franklin's own words from his posthumously-published autobiography and numerous letters and essays. Written by and starring Erie-native Ray Flynt, award-winning author of the Unforgiving Shadows and Cold Oath mystery series. The play will be offered during the day for school groups – and the performance will be livestreamed FREE to schools across the area. A perfect way to celebrate Memorial Day!
