SUMMARY:Mullin's Boom
DESCRIPTION:“Mullin’s Boom\,” a folksong first performed in 1823 by the inmates of the Newcastle jail\, and thought to be so politically subversive that it was banned by law not longer afterwards\, will be brought to life again\, for it’s bicentennial\, by a new performing troupe\, Character Matters Miramichi. \nPerformances are scheduled at Folklore Park in Renous (April 29 @7pm)\, at the Woodmen’s Museum in Boiestown (May 6 @7pm) and at NBCC Miramichi (May 13 @ 7pm and May 14 @ 2pm and 7pm).The script takes a humourous tone\, as a set of locals – Frank Gleason\, John Burroughs\, and Michael Darby – escape the Newcastle jail on Halloween Night and flee to the Southwest\, where they find work with the logging crews of Robert Doak. Trying to earn their way with saw and axe\, little do they realize that the industrious Thomas Boies has sent Ron Alden\, Jerry Garfield and Teddy Gordon\, recently arrived from Maine\, to cut for him on the very same ground. Confusion and excitement abound\, as these two bands of woodsmen face off in a bout that was best captured in verse. \n
