School Assemblies USA provides schools the most cutting edge and professional programs available today. Focusing on topics that are key to standards across the country, our assemblies include math, science, reading and positive character. David Mitchell has toured coast to coast presenting his amazing production: Benjamin Franklin: The Man Who Tamed Lightning Seeing a need for renewed patriotism and positive character, David began researching America’s most inspiring citizen……Benjamin Franklin. Through extensive research, he found that the life of this amazing “Founding Father” and “Citizen of the World” could inspire young and old alike to be the best they can be. This assembly brings science and history alive as Ben shares many of his scientific experiments and inventions including his first invention as a youth, the swim paddles. Also, they will see the chilling account of the Kite experiment and hear and see Franklin’s favorite invention, the glass armonica. Students participate in a number of the events in Franklin’s life as they join him on stage and interact with the unique and rare props. These are unforgettable memories the students will keep for a lifetime. Students and faculty are inspired as Franklin relives his involvement in the founding of our country. A sense of renewed patriotism for the struggles and sacrifices endured by our founding fathers has brought audiences to their feet in appreciation for this stirring chapter in Franklin’s life. The presentation is a professional production using incredible props, a beautiful set, music, stories, student interaction, authentic costuming, and the character of Ben Franklin. Mr. Mitchell’s amazing likeness of this great American helps students immediately identify with the character. From the moment he walks on stage the audience fells they are in the presence of living history. This has prompted many principals and teachers to comment, “You ARE Ben Franklin”!
