A production of The Magic If

This presentation is the amazing story of the oil discoveries in Oil Springs and Petrolia Ontario which then led to Canadian boys opening up many of the major oil fields of today. The very first commercial oil well in the world was in Oil Springs and there was a time when Petrolia was as well known in the world as New York and San Francisco. And why not? Oil was gushing out of the ground and making it a town full of millionaires. In those early oil days it was a torturous process of getting the oil out of the ground, hauled out of the swamps and muddy fields to the distillers and then to the consumer. It was a time of true pioneering spirit and remarkable innovation. Canadian expertise became renowned throughout the world. Today, it is often a forgotten story, but now there is an opportunity for Canadian students to hear it told with drama, humour, and enthusiasm!
