This poignant and
beautiful musical drama brings to life events leading up to a tragic massacre
of striking coal miners and their families in Ludlow, Colorado in 1914.
It is a story of desperate times, racial tension, courage and love.
Mounting a world premiere is an exciting new step for YMTC; composer
and playwright will be working with students during rehearsals as we
create this moving epic drama on stage for the first time. With a big
cast and many principal roles, it's a wonderful opportunity for
everyone!
The writers of
this show are a renowned composer and playwright team, who have had
their work produced at professional theaters across the country, such
as the Academy Theater in Atlanta, Madison Repertory Theater, Trinity
Repertory Theater in Providence, the Minnesota Opera Company, Traveling
Jewish Theater Company, and the Nebraska Shakespeare Festival.
MOTHERS is a featured event at this year's LABORFEST, a month
