In 1970, the U.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce named Elvis Presley one of the ‘Ten Outstanding Young Men of the Nation.’  At the award ceremony on 16 January 1971 Elvis began his acceptance speech, “When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer.” Afterwards, he was presented with the ‘Silver Hands’  trophy, inscribed on its base: ‘The hope of mankind lies in the hands of youth and action.’ Within this sentiment ' The Dreamer' was created. It is a multi-media musical memoir in two acts: A Theatre in Education resource: a medium for learning and an instrument for change. The Dreamer asks: “What are your dreams?” And: “How do you want to be remembered?”
