A Shirtwaist Tale

JCC East Bay
Berkeley, CA

A Shirtwaist Tale tells the true story of 30,000 young, mostly Jewish, immigrant women that changed the face of the labor movement by striking for better wages and shorter hours in 1909. Oakland playwright Judith Offer teams up with renowned composer Arkadi Serper to restage this delightful musical seven years after its initial debut. Accompanied by an onstage klezmer band, this vital document of the immigrant history is not to be missed. Catch one of four shows at the JCC or a week earlier at the Humanist Hall in Oakland (call 510-444-8521 for more info on the Oakland show).
