Prolog: A Tribute to The Founding Fathers

Title: Prolog: A Tribute to The Founding Fathers
Description: This play script, produced by Brent Hanson for the Hill Cumorah Pageant in 1976, was a one-time-use prologue created to celebrate the bicentennial of the United States of America. In this prologue, the national anthem is played and actors portraying the Founding Fathers of the United States are introduced as they recite the dialogue contained in the script. The dialogue praises 200 years of sovereignty for the United States and celebrates the United States’s long history with religious freedom. Being a production by the Church of Jesus Christ of The Latter-day Saints, the dialogue additionally celebrates the discovery of the North American continent, which is important to the Mormon religion.

A handwritten notecard by Jerry Argetsinger is also included.

Note: Optical character recognition (OCR) was used to make the PDF text-searchable, but the scan is not perfect, and it does not capture the script's handwritten notes.
