Suffice it to say, the play was very long and had 134 kids playing twelve roles. (There was a lot of role-swapping going on, so that the kids had to wear name-tags so the audience could keep track of who was who.)
Here is Eddie's part:
"If we are to have peace on earth ... our loyalties must transcend our race, our tribe, our class, and our nation; and this means we must develop a world perspective. No individual can live alone, no nation can live alone, and as long as we try, the more we are going to have war in this world. We must either learn to live together as brothers or we are all going to perish together as fools."
Martin Luther King, Jr. 1967
