Take a bungled bank raid, a destitute solicitor, a drunken judge, a bizarre escape, patent medicines and a winsome barmaid and what do you have? CHICKASAW, THE ELIXIR OF LOVE, is an entertaining new Canadian musical comedy that is available for performances by community theatre, drama schools, and high school productions.
In 1836, a teenaged Louisa Stacey left the comforts of her relatives in England forever to join her parents, George and Eliza, and their six other children in Canada. Together, despite tremendously difficult circumstances, they forged a new life for themselves in the wilderness, near what is now Ascot Corner in the Eastern Townships. Louisa brought with her just the bare necessities, including her piano!
A sexy, light-hearted musical about an artist who uses the alchemy of
words and music to transform mundane reality into an exciting existence.
With a cast of three males and three females, Miz Laurier is suitable for a large or small venue and is particularly appropriate for summer and dinner theatre.
