Patchworks: Life and Legends of the Coal Towns
Description
Tin lunch pails, coal carts, mule trains, breaker boys, wash day, heavy boots, playgrounds in the shadow of the coal breaker, life underground and coal dust everywhere…
America’s Industrial Revolution was fueled by coal. Today, the coal mining patch towns stand in tribute to the men and women, boys, and girls whose strong backs and hearty spirits inspired Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble to create Patchworks: Life and Legends of the Coal Towns, an uplifting collection of stories, songs, and first-person narratives woven together illustrating life in the mine patch and the search for the American Dream. Hear the thunder of underground explosions and voices emerging from the clatter of the coal breakers. Come along with us as we mine the rich history of King Coal.
Touring April 20th – May 27th, 2022
