A new play from Paul Stroili, the author of this year’s hit, A Jukebox for the Algonquin! Izzy’s history buff husband Freddy had a dream: a full-scale reenactment of The Michigan-Ohio War. But when a bizarre papier-mâché accident leaves Izzy a widow, she calls on her Wolverine daughter and Buckeye son to see Freddy’s vision realized. Historical becomes hysterical in this comedy about family, football, and the fight for the Toledo strip. Tensions flare when this forced-to-downsize Michigan matriarch, Izzy, and her grown children, clash over everything from tofu to Toledo to goal posts to Gordon Lightfoot. It’s a laugh-out-loud look at the battles we never outgrow, no matter how old we get. Contains adult language and subject matter.
