Canadian songwriter, playwright, author, activist and former politician James Gordon has a history of producing topical ‘one-man’ shows. His last, “James Gordon’s Emergency Climate Musical” was a success across the country, so much so that there’s demand for a reboot since the show didn’t actually seem to solve that crisis. In looking at the possibilities, James observed that nothing can really be accomplished in climate mitigation until we work to remove the biggest obstacle in keeping our planet sustainable and thriving: the Oligarchy!
Smashing the Oligarchy, filled with insights, humour, visual images and some grim reality observations, has 15 original songs, some ranting, and a post-show discussion. Tuesday June 2.
296 Broadview is not yet a fully wheelchair accessible venue, with stairs between all levels. Our goal is to fix that, and we need your support to do so – please consider making a donation towards our goals to make HRL the best listening room in Toronto!
