This unforgettable
production sweeps you back in history to a time when Ohio was the
western frontier of America, to witness the founding of Ohio’s
first settlement, Schoenbrunn, in 1772. Historical characters include
David Zeisberger, a M o r a v i a n missionary who hoped to establish
a peaceful Indian settlement along the fiery frontier; Simon Girty, a conniving border renegade who agitated for all-out war in the region; Captain Pipe, a young warrior chief whose hatred of all white men for the killing of his father added to the dangers facing the missionaries; and John Heckewelder, one of the first explorers of the “Ohio country”. When the Revolutionary War broke out, Zeisberger and his followers found themselves caught between the British army at Fort Detroit and the American forces at Fort Pitt. By refusing to take sides in the struggle, Zeisberger and his people incurred the wrath of both warring parties, which eventually led to the brutal massacre of 96 Christian Indians at Gnadenhutten in 1782 by a band of American militiamen, an event former President and noted historian Teddy Roosevelt called “a stain on the frontier character that time cannot wash away.” Written by Pulitzer prize-winning playwright Paul Green, “TRUMPET” uses a cast and crew numbering over 70 people to bring this epic production to life. Professional actors, singers and dancers, brilliant lighting, authentic looking costumes, horses, battle pyrotechnics and a state-of-the-art sound system combine for an outstanding evening of family entertainment.

His loyalty to the Indian and his savagery in battle were legendary, and soon the myth overwhelmed the man. His name brought fear to all along the frontier in the late eighteenth century.
He is a very complex, three-dimensional character, as fierce as any Indian warrior, yet still willing to put his life on the line to plead for strangers’ lives. He is a very misunderstood man thrust into an extraordinary and explosive situation, but with the death of Colonel Crawford in 1782, he became from that moment on, SIMON GIRTY, “THE WHITE SAVAGE”.
- One of the most
- explosive movie

- When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town, Ren is prepared for the inevitable adjustment period at his new high school. What he isn't prepared for are the rigorous local laws, including a ban on dancing.
- To the rockin' rhythm of its Oscar-nominated top 40 score, the soundtrack album reached number one on the Billboard charts and has sold over 15 million copies, to which new, dynamic songs have been added.
- FOOTLOOSE celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people, guiding them with a warm heart and an open mind.
