This unforgettable
production sweeps you back in history to a time when Ohio was the
western frontier of America, to witness the founding of Ohios
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.

Simon
Girty has been labeled, justly or unjustly, as a savage due
to his alliance with the Native Americans, and the British during the American
Revolution.
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.
