An original and very participating historic musical storytelling for all ages.

A participatory Folk Operetta of New York's Grand Erie Canal featuring authentic historic instruments, music, costumes, tall tales, sing-alongs, and characters for an unforgettable experience in New York State's History. Heritage instruments include squeezeboxes, fiddle, banjo, and hurdy gurdy.

To enrich the children’s understanding and appreciation of the craft behind a staged opera performance, the artists enjoy presenting a show-and-tell as they are setting up for their show.

Captain Simon Slick and Irish cook Sallie Waters meet up with Sal, a truly amazing Mule, to set off on a rollicking journey down The Grand Erie Canal, 8th Wonder of the World! But oh me, oh my…where did the water go? Tall Tales and Riddles come to the Rescue! Great characters, great stories, and everyone sings in this unforgettable historic enrichment experience.
