This is history told in a fun, relatable and musical way! The Gold Rush is often a mysterious part of our history, with many big holes in our knowledge of what people were actually like. The characters in this play are accessible to young actors and make this the perfect show for educational theatre.

Part Western, part history lesson, and part musical, this play is at once familiar and full of the unexpected. Syran impressively keeps the narrative accessible and entertaining, while also honing the lens in on the darker class distinctions and impacts on colonialism that marked the time period. I can definitely see this play used as a teaching tool for young audiences, that's also an uplifting story for any fan of workers triumphing over the corrupt and powerful.
