Stage a protest against the Vietnam War- dress as hippies, make signs with anti-war slogans, direct it President Johnson

End of Camelot- pretend to be just regular people in the US who are hurting because of Pres Kennedy's assassination!. Talk to your parents and maybe grandparents to find out how they felt on those days, and use that as your basis for the skit!.

Man lands on the moon- pretend you are outside the Apollo launch and talk about the moon landing and the space race

American Bandstand- have a dance contest showcasing different dances from the time- the mashed potato, the swim- think the movie Hairspray, but without Tracey Turnblatt!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

That sounds like fun!. I really miss acting!.
I would say anything Lucille Ball based would add some levity to any old history script you might write up!.

Oh, remember the Partridge Family or Brady Bunch!? That could be neat!.

Have fun!! And remember "Energy!, Energy!, Energy!"Www@QuestionHome@Com
