Before the last federal election, songwriter/activist/city councillor James Gordon barnstormed his way across the country with his one-man show Stephen Harper: the Musical.
Now he’s back with Emergency Climate Musical: a ninety-minute theatrical investigation of what surely is THE issue in these uncertain times, says a news release promoting the event.
"Filled with compelling songs, videos, images, stories, rants, laughter, tears, audience participation, a creepy puppet and some concrete ways to face this crisis, James’ promises to entertain, inform, and leave you with homework," the release said.
"Follow along as he outlines his premise that we need a total political, societal and economic make-over to face the incredible challenge ahead."
The production debuted earlier this month with performances in Barrie, Orangeville, London, Hamilton and Toronto.
More Ontario dates are on the fall schedule with a national tour planned for early in the new year.
As a Guelph city councillor, Gorodon has been active with climate change initiatives and he’s a member of the National Climate Leadership Caucus.
Gordon said the failure of Guelph to declare a climate emergency, when more than 500 Canadian municipalities have done so is part of the story.
The performance takes place Oct. 18th at the Royal City Mission on Quebec Street.
The performance is in benefit of the Wellington Water Watchers.
