A Joyous New Stage Show.
The show is based on the history of the Scots-Irish over
500 years, and a celebration of the people that gave America
seventeen Presidents (not forgetting some of history's most
notorious rogues, rebels and revolutionaries along the way
!).
The Narrator commands the stage and the big cast in this
huge story of emigration, separation, love and loyalty. He
spans the centuries, commenting on the action to the audience.
But he also enters the action. He manipulates the characters
on stage. He plays the part of a father, he plays the part
of a son. At times he becomes the lover, the husband, the
priest, the shipping agent, and the American President Andrew
Jackson.
Supported by a large cast of actors, 30 professional dancers
(modern and traditional), bands, pipes, fifes, drums, traditional
instruments and full orchestra, he tells the story of the
Scots-Irish through the eyes of individuals throughout their
history.
Innovative and spectacular in it's presentation, the story
is set in both the past and the present.
But the themes are timeless and universal.
