HOUGHMAGANDIE! Jan. 23, Bushwakker Brew Pub, regina
Burning Sun’s next stage production, however, is decidedly unlocal. It is a risque musical biography of Robert Burns written by Ken Mitchell, using entirely the songs and poetry of the Scottish bard. This will feature the musical talent of the Celtic folk band, “Squeeze of Scotch”. Houghmagandie! will premiere on. Jan. 23, 2010 at the Bushwakker Brew Pub in Regina.
COWBOY CHORALE April 10, 2010.
Cowboy Chorale is a two-act theatre musical commissioned by the Barbershop Harmony Society of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, to premiere in April 2010. It will be a multi-media event to be also staged in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan featuring traditional songs, cowboy poetry, and choral singing, and special effects -- with an acting horse on stage!
RHYMING WRANGLERS
A made-for-television documentary about Bill Gomersall and the Mitchell Boys, will be released in 2010 as Rhyming Wranglers. This DVD was shot and edited in co-production with Birdsong Films, and directed by Gerald Lenton-Young.
RANCHO HUTTERITE
Burning Sun is currently negotiating with two Hutterite colonies in Saskatchewan to host a cowboy poetry gathering at either a colony or a neighboring guest ranch, to which people of surrounding communities will be invited. We will be working with Hutterite cowboy poets and musicians. Burning Sun considers this an important breakthrough, if it comes to pass.
