Kitchener Waterloo Little Theatre Presents

Ode to Humanity, or the History of the Human Race – Abridged

A historically inaccurate look at the evolution of the human race

No one is spared mockery in this comedic take on the history of our existence.  Ode to Humanity, or the History of the Human Race – Abridged, is back by popular demand and set to run at the 2007 London Fringe Festival and the 2007 Hamilton Fringe Festival.  First performed at the KWLT’s July One Act Festival in 2006, it was the little play that could from the little theatre that could. Charming even the most academically astute, ‘Ode’ guffawed its way into the hearts of Waterloo and London regions, and is ready to take on Hamilton with even more gusto.      More »
