OPENING MARCH 5THDetroit Be Dammed: A Beaver's Tale
An original, multi-media comedy epic following one family through 300+ years of Detroit history.
by Shawn Handlon & Mikey Brown
Directed by Shawn Handlon
Sure, everyone has heard of the Fords and the Fishers, but who in the hell are the LeMerdes? Jacques LeMerde arrived on the banks of the Detroit River with Antoine de La Mothe Cadillac in 1701 to establish Detroit as a trading post for beaver and other furs. LeMerde's unsung progeny have been fighting the good fight in Detroit ever since.
Detroit Be Dammed: A Beaver's Tale recounts the stories of the LeMerde family as they live through some of Detroit's most famous historical moments. Planet Ant Theatre invites you to enjoy this world premiere multi-media spectacle featuring 10 original songs, animation, video and a cast of five of Detroit's most talented actors: Jessalyn Brooks, Mikey Brown, Chris Jakob, Kennikki Jones and Chris Korte. The show is lovingly directed by Detroit Second City alum Shawn Handlon.
