Three MIll Girls Performance by Marcia Estabrook

Meet three mill workers who have different perspectives on their work in the mills. Mary Paul is “pro-mill,” Sarah Bagley instigates turnouts and strikes, and Mary Harvey is an Irish immigrant worker who displays a complex range of attitudes from gratitude to outrage. The program explores various topics, including immigration, industrialization, labor history, prejudice, Victorian morals, and women’s history.

Through meticulous research and rehearsal she transforms herself into dynamic characters from the past for her performances. Free event.
