A Musical History of America's

most famous canal

15 MILES on the

Erie Canal

2 big acts of songs, comedy & drama that brings the story of the Erie Canal to life on stage

Written & Directed by Rod Foote

Musical Direction by Jan Moore

Chocked full of songs, comedy, pictures and entertaining history, this show will give you a new understanding about one of the most inspired and amazing engineering feats ever. What's "dropping the lines?" What's the difference between a Packet and a Bullhead? How does a lock work? What's up with those low bridges? You'll find it all in this fast moving musical production as lock tender Padraig Connor and "canawler" Declan Riley tell you all about life on the "Er-I-ee."

This show is available for performance in your school or other venue in either a one act 40 minute version or in the full 90 minute two act version.

Base price in $600.00 for the one act version, $800 for the two act full version. Additional fees as to distance traveled and meals/lodging may apply.

In both cases full production values will be present with costumes, sets and, if your venue is dark capable, projections. For further information contact us at 315-335-0814 or email at producers@chathamtheatre.com.

Yes, it's true. Our "home" for the past 25 years, Beck's Grove Dinner Theater, has closed its doors for good after an amazing run. However, we of the Chatham Theatre Company are still in business! At present, we are packing up our tons and tons of stuff at Beck's Grove (and you can imagine what one accumulates in 25 years) and are taking it to our original location at THE BEECHES Restaurant in Rome, NY where the Chatham Theatre Company was born in March of 1982.

Beginning on Nov. 2, we'll start anew with a brand new Christmas Show extravaganza titled "A Christmas Fantasia." Packed full with songs of the season, dazzling costumes and a eye-popping set, this family friendly show will sure to be one of your Christmas treasures. Keep checking this site for updates on our move and our other "on the road" productions.
