Schuster Theatre presents Fortunate Victory
Written by Alex Clemente and Shawn Clerkin and directed by
Shawn Clerkin, this performance was originally produced during the Perry 200
celebrations. The Schuster Theatre has been invited by the Flagship
Niagara/Niagara League to reprise its production, this year co-produced with
the Erie Playhouse, during the 2016 Erie Tall Ships special event. This
forty-minute play examines the passion and patriotism of Oliver Hazard Perry
and others as they built the fleet that would defeat the English in the Battle
of Lake Erie during the War of 1812.
All
proceeds from this production will support the Schuster Theatre’s participation
in the August 2017 International Collegiate Theatre Festival in Edinburgh,
Scotland.
