TheatreWorkers Project

TheatreWorkers Project was born in a shutdown union hall in 1983 when theatre artist Susan “Susie” Franklin Tanner and a small artist team collaborated with a group of unemployed steelworkers to create “LADY BETH: the steelworkers play”. Supported by funds from Bruce Springsteen, they toured the country to tell the story of the impact plant closures had on the lives of workers.
