Sound Track:
Bob Dylan (Covered by Rage Against The Machine)-Maggie’s Farm
Johnny Cash- Don’t Take Your Guns to Town
I
chose these songs for the way they resemble the story. Son House’s
song, really reminds me of the part in the story where Mr. Logan is
telling Cassie that she needs to figure out how to behave when around
the girl from school who was mean to her. The song Maggie’s Farm, well, I
think we are all pretty familiar with it, but I chose the Rage Against
the Machine cover of it, because I feel like it portrays the feelings in
the book about how they own their own farm and how they are not going
to give it up for anyone. The Johnny Cash song is great because it
reminds me of them Hammer was going to go find the Simmes and Mama and
Big Ma were asking him not to go.
Cast:
Dennis Haysbert-Mr. Logan
Michael Clark Duncan- Mr. Morrison
Lisa Bonet (when she was younger)- Cassie
Jaden Smith- Stacey
Dule Hill-T.J.
Andy Griffith- Mr. Granger
Martin Lawrence- Big Ma

Stage design:
I
would love to have a moving walkway for actors to walk on as if it is
the dirt road in the farm fields, you would see the school house, homes
and Jeremy's tree house in the background.
The
Logan home would also be an installment , with a fireplace and a porch
off to the side, it would a sliced open profile of the house so you can
see the front porch, inside and back of the house.
