Thank you, Tony LaFrano. Family Theatre's only purpose is to bring to everyone's attention a practice that must become an important part of our lives of where to win peace for ourselves, Peace for our families and peace for the world.

Family theatre urges you to pray. Pray together as a family. Years before their appearance, Jules Verne foretold the submarine, the navigable balloon, the aeroplane, the telephone, the long-range projectile and many other inventions. But perhaps his greatest writing achievement was the complex character of Captain Nemo, tragic star of 20,000 leagues under the sea.

In this man, we glimpse home as Ulysses, Shakespeare's Hamlet, and ourselves, our dreams, our disillusionments, our instinctive yearning for good. These are the things that make Captain Nemo and his great adventure timeless. And so it is with pride and pleasure that family theatre presents Otto Kruger in Jules Verne's beloved classic, 20,000 leagues under the sea.

The Earth does not need new continents. It needs new men. My name is Pierre Aronault.

I am assistant professor in the Museum of Natural History in Paris. And the year is 1866. Delving into the unknown as I do, there is little surprises me. And yet today in this modern life, unbelievable newspaper headlines shocked the world.

That's my extreme attack, my sea serpent. I was in my New York apartment... ...at the conclusion of my most recent scientific tour... ...and had planned to return to Paris... ...with my valuable collection of specimens.
