Artword theatre presents:
1812: The Songbook

October 18 – 20, 8 pm.

A rollicking cabaret about the War of 1812 in music hall style. 

Hamilton’s popular folk ensemble What the Folk (Terry Ball, Geoff Ball, Carolyn Reid, Caroline Olsen and drummer Eric Hanenberg) share songs and stories about the War of 1812, and the audience is invited to join in. Illustrated songbooks with the lyrics, and interesting anecdotes about the war, are passed out before every show. Judith Sandiford’s dedicated research unearthed a treasure-trove of rousing songs from the period,  assembled and scripted by Sandiford and Ronald Weihs.  Music arrangements are by What the Folk. The show is in cabaret format, with beverages available to loosen up the throat.

October 18 to 20, 2012 at the Lyric Theatre, 434 King W, near Locke Street, (905) 527-6135.
Thurs: $19 regular, $16 seniors and students
Fri & Sat: $25 regular, $16 students and seniors.
