Amateur Poet
By Larry Pruett
This drama is a monologue by Francis Scott Key, the author of the Star Spangled Banner. Unfortunately, most Americans only know the first verse of our national anthem, if that. And, even if they know the words, it’s unlikely that they understand the story behind the anthem. This simple presentation would take a few minutes to perform and should be followed by singing the entire Star Spangled Banner. The audience will sing the American National Anthem with more understanding and feeling than ever before after being addressed and educated by this Amateur Poet.
