The War of 1812 | Dec 6th, 7 PM
Written by Michael Hollingsworth
Written as part of The History of the Village of The Small Huts, The War of 1812 is a scathing portrayal of the idiocies and brutalities of the cross-border war, initiated by US President James Madison on a whim, and costing Tecumseh’s First Nations their land and lives. Eight actors evoke armies and generals, Laura Secord and her cow, and Tecumseh and the Prophet.

As one character flees a history of torture in Central America, Sander’s father’s history as a draft dodger uncovers itself to sit uneasily with the present, provoking a re-examination of what it means to escape our demons.
