Join us here at SHA for the award-winning production of
Mill Girls.
The play chronicles the lives of several girls from
dissimilar backgrounds who are thrust into the American
industrial revolution of the 1840s when they take on jobs in
a New England mill. There they discover the unique rewards
of factory work, as one girl earns money to send her brother
to Harvard, while another saves for her own tuition. As
Irish immigration provides a wave of cheap labor to the
mills, wage cuts and miserable working conditions become the
norm--but the mill girls are determined to gain reasonable
pay and conditions.
With compelling characters and theatrical staging, the play
brings history vividly to life.
Schedule of Performances:
Tickets are $5.00, and will be available when the doors open at
6:45.
