Bread and Roses Missouri 2018’s Worker Theater Project is celebrating the arts in the lives of working people and their families with two new original productions.
‘2018 WORKERS’ OPERA’
Bread and Roses will stage a brand-new spoken word and musical opera based on stories shared by Missouri workers and community activists.
The “2018 Workers’ Opera” builds on the legacy of Fannie Lebby (“Voices of Solidarity”) and Agnes Wilcox and Freeman Word (“Then & Now Again”).
Directed by Kathryn Bentley and Colin McLaughlin, and featuring the Bread and Roses Players, the new production will preview on September 27 at the Worker Rights Board Annual Breakfast. Full production will begin in October.
EUGENE DEBS REMEMBERED IN JANUARY
“Jailbird,” a full-length play by Colin McLaughlin is a dramatization of Eugene V. Debs’ 1920 presidential campaign from federal prison.
Debs’ life-long dedication to workers’ rights, social and economic justice, and a society that serves us all, are strikingly relevant today. “Jailbird” will debut in January 2019 at the Missouri History Museum.
