Change the Story. Change the World.
Once upon a time, theatre director Susie Tanner teamed up with out-of-work steelworkers and Bruce Springsteen to spread the devastating truth about steel plant shutdowns across the U.S.
This is their story.
From the podcast:
“Using this bread-baking metaphor. Susie Tanner explains the creative process she used in the early days of the TheatreWorkers workshop to draw out the memories and emotions of steelworkers and shipbuilders to mold a play.
“Her talk of assembling the tools of the trade and kneading and forming dough is striking not only for its matte-of-fact language but for the subtle issues and attitudes that lie behind the words.
“Tanner has worked all her life to knead and meld her artistic work, economic needs, and political beliefs. This depth of experience and commitment shows in both the story she shares and the extraordinary work she and her creative partners have brought to the stage.”
