LOCATION:Little Red Church :: 2182 Comox Ave. Comox, V9M 4B6
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Written & performed by James Gordon=0D=0A=
=0D=0A=
This new play, by Canada's own "Pro Rogue", examines current Canadian political climate through songs, rants, visuals, puppets… and a little bit of attitude. A sharp-witted, scathingly satirical, and not-too-untrue one-man show, (well, two if you count the somewhat disturbing Harper Dummy!) featuring 18 original songs, spoken word, hundreds of projected images, audience participation, and an activist’s passion to show where we are and where we can go as a nation.=0D=0A=

James Gordon’s fourth full-length musical play, “Stephen Harper: The Musical”, finally makes its way to Vancouver Island, after successful runs in his hometown of Guelph and at Hamilton’s Pearl Company Canadian Theatre Festival. =0D=0A=

The timing is right for this innovative work. So many Canadians are feeling that their voice is not being heard under the “Harper Government”. What can we do about this? Audiences can find out, and have a fun theatrical evening at the same time! No matter what your stripes, there are laughs to be had - and maybe just a little swearing.=0D=0A=

Gordon’s professional credentials are stellar. Audiences may be familiar with his work as a singer-ongwriter, with 40 albums to his cred it over a thirty year international career. (His songs can be heard at james@jamesgordon.ca) He is equally skilled as a playwright, using musical theatre as a vehicle for pointed social commentary. His plays include “Hardscrabble Road” (about homelessness and globalization issues), “Nastee’ Business” (about the bottled water scam), and “Tryst and Snout” (a hillbilly adaptation of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”). =0D=0A=
