The Amazing Mr. Franklin!

About this Event

Benjamin Franklin was the original super-genius superhero and he’s back for the reboot: The Amazing Mr. Franklin!

In honor of America’s 250th birthday, Theatre in the Classroom is reviving this fan favorite play for its Spring 2026 tour. Not only will kids learn about Benjamin Franklin’s life and inventions, but they will also learn to ask, “What good shall I do this day?”

Theatre in the Classroom is an initiative of the Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble. At this performance, you can expect professional actors to use props and costumes to create scenes that are vivid, engaging, and educational. This experience will include call-and-response opportunities from audience members, and HAPL will provide additional print and online resources before and after the program for extra learning at home. This program is one of the many ways Pennsylvania Public Libraries supports the PA Forward Initiative by providing civic, social, and basic literacy opportunities for learning.

This program is open to K-6th grade kids and their caregivers. The performance will last approximately one hour. Registration is required below. Please contact HAPL at (570) 584-3762 if you have any questions.
