The Barre Historical Society is hosting this musical theater show which brings to life the legendary labor organizer, Mother Jones, a featured speaker at the Old Labor Hall back in its heyday.
This will be the Vermont premier of the show by Si Kahn. The production stars Vivian Nesbit in a rousing one woman performance as the infamous labor organizer who led the charge for better working conditions and fair pay for miners, mill workers and child laborers.
The story of Mother Jones forcefully reminds us how powerful one person can be in service to the betterment of others. The topic is as timely today as it was when Mother Jones was organizing the working class at the turn of the last century.
Tickets: $25 ($20 students, union members, seniors) in advance online or at the door.
