By Andrew Erskine Wheeler, directed by Allison Vincent with music by Northern Shores WHOOSH! is a raucous, comical, emotionally gripping ghost story performed by solo artist Andrew Erskine Wheeler, performing multiple characters, and involving Minneapolis’ St. Anthony Falls in the days immediately following Minnesota’s involvement in the Civil War. Wheeler weaves an emotionally gripping ghost tale using song and storytelling to recount his Irish ancestor’s intersectional history with St. Anthony Falls and Minneapolis, known respectively as Owámniyomni and Gakaabikaang in Dakota and Anishinaabe.
This story was first performed in an award-winning production at the 2022 MN Fringe Festival. In the History Theatre's expanded production, folk musicians Northern Shores will accompany the production. “captivating performance…it's a beautiful story that combines local history, ghost stories, Greek tragedies, Irish music, and the trauma of war and loss.” - Cherry and Spoon
