It’s still summer.
Steal those quiet moments of summer to send in your 250th celebration entries by 8/30/2025.
A few minutes here, a few minutes there, you may have a winning entry.
Please examine the following two ideas for the American story.
- Consider and reflect upon the events culminating in the April 19, 1775 Minutemen march and the ensuing battles, and the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776 from the then Sudbury perspective and involvement and the prevailing national perspective.
- What does 250 years of American Independence mean to you, the nation, and the world today? How do you envisage the future 50 or 100 years from now?
These two ideas can be approached through several forms, including but not limited to the following ideas:
- Spoken word
- Drama/Play
- Music
- Dance
- Debate
- Debate the pros and cons of joining the American Revolution as were argued by Loyalists and Revolutionaries (Patriots)
Suggested duration for performances:
- 5 minutes to 10 minutes
- drama/play or debate could be up to 40 to 60 minutes
Deadlines:
- 8/30/2025 for consideration for performance entries scheduled for Fall 2025 or Spring 2026, culminating in Sudbury 250 Day (May, 2026)
