About the Production
This play is historical in nature but forces us to consider the
implications of consumerism and the corporate “bottom-line”
mentality. Our production asks us to learn from this important social
injustice and to ask our students to think about social issues. It is
truly an experience to learn from history in the hopes of attaining a
better world.
