THREADHEADS
a play by Dean Corrin
from an idea by David Avcollie
traditional songs adapted by Mark Elliott and Dean CorrinJulia and Gus work with their mother in the textile mills of turn-of-the-century Philadelphia. Instead of attending school, the children must spend 14-hour workdays spinning and spooling threads for meager wages. When they meet the legendary labor leader Mother Jones, they join her now-famous march to convince President Teddy Roosevelt to champion their rights. (6M, 5W. Unit setting.)
