Clinton’s Ditch

Book by Ric Chesser

”Clinton’s Ditch” is an hour-long production with music that brings 200 years of Erie Canal history to life.  It covers the need for a canal, debate over building it, construction, the Wedding of the Waters opening celebration, and life on the canal.  The show explores the waterway that opened the American West to trade and settlement, securing New York City’s position as dominate port-of-entry for the East Coast of the United States and the nation’s financial capital.
