Step back in time with Pushcart Players’ A More Perfect Union, a spirited and engaging folk musical that brings the story of America’s founding to life. Through music, dance, and storytelling, the production illuminates the challenges and triumphs faced by the citizens and leaders of a fledgling nation as they navigated war, rebellion, and the creation of the U.S. Constitution.

Audiences follow four relatable characters—Benjamin, Rebecca, Luke, and Abby—as they experience pivotal events in early American history, from the Boston Tea Party to Shays’ Rebellion, and finally to the Constitutional Convention of 1787. With authentic period folk songs, lively choreography, and innovative sets and costumes, the production transforms history into a dynamic, personal, and inspiring adventure for young viewers.

A More Perfect Union highlights the creativity, resilience, and determination of ordinary Americans shaping the extraordinary ideals of liberty, justice, and unity. The performance not only entertains but also encourages students to explore their own roles as active citizens in shaping the future.

Following the show, students have the opportunity to engage with the cast in a question-and-answer session, deepening their understanding of history, the Constitution, and the theatrical experience.

Pushcart Players’ production of A More Perfect Union is a celebration of American history, a lively introduction to live theatre, and an educational tool that connects young audiences to the stories, struggles, and spirit of the nation’s founders.
