This award-winning social justice drama has garnered glowing reviews since its premiere in 2005. The Winnipeg Free Press proclaimed "Strike! Has Important Message For Humanity", declaring "this play would do more to enable the strength of civil discourse than any of the theories of [a] learned academic conference." Canada's national newspaper, "The Globe and Mail", called the musical "an improbably compelling piece of musical theatre" while the Saskatoon Star Phoenix stated that "[Strike!] gives you everything you want: a love story, a suspenseful plot, a collection of good songs and a history lesson that teaches you something about yourself." The historical musical finds its inspiration in the seminal Canadian story: the 1919 Winnipeg General Strike. In addition to regional theatre productions, the musical has been broadcast as a national radio special and published as an interactive book/CD. A feature film will shoot in 2011 and a summer production is produced annually in Winnipeg.
