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.
