Ludlow Massacre

Ludlow Massacre

Synopsis: A tenacious reporter imbeds with the striking miners and becomes more and involved in a dangerous and bloody clash with powerful entities including one of the riches men in the world— John D. Rockefeller Jr.


The Argument: Within the season’s theme, the festival highlights how legends are born—not only from the past, but from the artists who shape our future. Every great play, every timeless character, once had a first performance. By championing new work, we honor the legacy of theatre itself: a living, evolving art form where today’s creations become tomorrow’s unforgettable stories.
