The Children's Hour is a historical adaptation of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem of the same name and in reference to an early TV show, 1950's, of the same name also.
| The Children's Hour with Uncle Louie is directed and
performed by Lewis Wood Jr. Other performers include a 9 year old child (Ivy
Elizabeth Hatton) reading
a children's book and a number of Red Raiders. It was created out of the
recent bail outs that were necessary to temporarily save Capitalism. It is a
futuristic world that probably will be.
