Stephen Harper - The Musical

Stephen Harper - The Musical, examines our current
Canadian political climate and in particular our Prime
Minister, Stephen Harper. A one-man show
(well, two if you count the somewhat disturbing Harper
Dummy!) starring Canadian folk icon, James Gordon,
employs humour, political commentary, pathos,
original songs, spoken word, projected images,
audience participation, and activist's passion (whew,
that's more employment than the national average!) to
show where we are and where we can go as a nation.
Gordon, a city councillor in Guelph, Ontario, has been
travelling across the nation performing his show which
utilizes a Stephen Harper ventriloquist doll as well as 20
original songs to engage his audience in a number of topics ranging from Harper's leadership, climate
change, Canada's war on terrorism, the nation's unstable economy, the wealthy 1% of the population
and much more.
The timing is right for this satirical statement. So many Canadians are feeling that their voice is not being
heard under the "Harper Government". What can we do about this? Audiences can find out, and have a
fun theatrical evening at the same time.
