Synopsis

A staged history of Pennsylvania’s people and ideals. This collection presents pageant scenes from the early 20th century, dramatizing encounters among settlers, Quakers, and later generations. It weaves together a parade of characters, songs, and dances to recapture moments of founding, liberty, and community at places like Penn State and Philadelphia.


Readers gain a window into how stage pageantry was used to teach state history, celebrate education, and explore the blending of cultures that shaped the region.



  • Vivid scenes featuring figures such as William Penn, Quakers, and Pennsylvania Dutch communities.

  • Musical numbers, dances, and choral pieces embedded in the action.

  • Stage directions and character lists that hint at the production style of early collegiate pageants.

  • Themes of liberty, tolerance, education, and regional identity across generations.


Ideal for readers interested in historical theater, campus culture, and early 20th‑century pageants that celebrated state heritage.
