Experience the bustling, high-spirited and vibrant turn-of-the-century world of five immigrant girls, Jewish, Irish, Italian and one American born, working together as seamstresses in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory, their monumental hopes, irrepressible humor and fateful passions wrapped inside incredible hardships as they try to improve factory working conditions for all, and instead tumble headlong toward the tragic fire on March 25, 1911, that turned the New York City Health and Safety laws, and history, on its head. Triangle 146 is not your usual tragedy piece. It is a powerful warning about man’s indifference to man, but it also respectfully uses humor to help open hearts to the message. Ultimately, it is manifestly uplifting, showing the human spirit’s ability.
Book and lyrics Diane Uniman. Composer Kevin M. Cotter.
