MY MOTHER AND THE MICHIGAN/OHIO WAR

by Paul Stroili

Izzy’s history buff husband Freddy had a dream: a full-scale reenactment of The Michigan-Ohio War.  But when a bizarre papier-mâché accident leaves Izzy a widow, she calls on her Wolverine daughter and Buckeye son to see Freddy’s vision realized. Historical becomes hysterical in this comedy about family, football and the fight for the Toledo strip.
