SUMMARY:The Greatest War:  World War One, Wisconsin, and why it still matters
LOCATION:1155
DESCRIPTION:<h1>The Greatest War:&nbsp; World War One, Wisconsin, and why it still matt
 ers</h1><p>We are organizing a program of events to commemorate the 100th a
 nniversary of Armistice Day. The series includes music, film, and art. The 
 culmination of these events is a multi-media production titled The Greatest
  War: World War One, Wisconsin, and why it still matters. It is a live rock
  'n' roll history show that combines music (both original songs and period 
 traditionals) with images (photos, film, art), plus live readings of contem
 porary letters, diaries, articles, and speeches. The historical focus is WW
 I from Wisconsin's point of view, so we are using as much written and visua
 l material of and by Wisconsinites as possible. The show is Sunday 11 Novem
 ber 2018 at the historical Barrymore Theatre in Madison. (www.thegreatestwa
 r.org). Equal parts rock opera and documentary, the show uses music, imager
 y, and words to tell the story of the Armistice and the war that lead up to
  it. Using letters, diaries, and articles written by Wisconsinites, it pres
 ents a way of connecting the past with our world today. And it draws the au
 dience in with compelling music written and recreated by Wisconsin musician
 s: Madison Irish rock legends The Kissers; acclaimed Madison singer/songwri
 ter/bagpiper Sean Michael Dargan; Milwaukee's polka/hip-hop powerhouse Nove
 mber Criminals; and Milwaukee's ukulele provocateur The Viper and his Famou
 s Orchestra. The music will be accompanied by a live display of photos, fil
 m, and artwork from 1914-1918, projected on a giant, 24 x 14 foot, interact
 ive video wall.&nbsp;</p><p>Past is prologue. Today's geopolitical world ha
 s been shaped by no single factor more than the First World War. The Greate
 st War is a multimedia, exhibition-rich, live music exploration of the mode
 rn, living legacy of the conflict and the uneasy truce that ended it. 100 y
 ears to the day after the Armistice, the historic Barrymore Theatre will br
 im with this rock 'n' roll history show, expounding upon and exalting that 
 legacy, while searching for meaning in "The War to End All Wars." We want p
 eople to come to the show curious about what it was and why it should still
  matter; we want them to leave with some answers, a song in their head, and
  even more curiosity for their own future investigations.</p>
