This famous and infamous 1936 American musical masterpiece became a thundering piece of American history when governments and unions alike tried to ban its legendary first performance. Artists defied those orders to bring this searing work that celebrates the labor movement to life from the seats of a packed theater while the work’s composer and librettist Marc Blitzstein sat alone at the piano onstage. Originally directed by Orson Welles and dedicated to Kurt Weill, this imaginative new version honors the story of this rarely heard classic’s origin while it teams with energy, humor, melody, and thirst for justice. A cast of the area’s best young vocalists is led by the newly named Artistic Director of DC’s own Theatre Alliance, Shanara Gabrielle, and IN Series Head of Music Emily Batlzer (“The Promised End.”)
