NORWICH — The Gregson Theatre will be putting on their original show "The Players and the Pirates Along the Chenango Canal" at 6:30 p.m, Friday, August 27, and at 11 a.m., Saturday, August 28.
The performances will take place at the Martin Kapel Theater of the Chenango Arts Council in Norwich, and are free to the public.
Performers include Barbara Gregson, Kathy Varadi, and Clark Vischi. Original music and sound effects will be provided by Eric Porter and Carl Pickett.
The play tells the story of musicians, actors, and magicians traveling along the Chenango Canal, set in the 1870s, according to Barbara Gregson, proprietor of the Gregson Theater. She said it will be based on a tenth century Japanese legend of a musician being ambushed by pirates, who saves his own life with a musical performance.
