This creative theater piece uses eyewitness accounts, court transcripts and other archival material to create a dramatic moment-by-moment retelling of the historic 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire in New York City that caused the death of 146 garment workers, mainly young immigrant girls.  The play documents the social upheaval that followed, culminating in the manslaughter trial of the owners. . . the outcome of which inspired outrage across the country setting the stage for shaping American Labor laws for decades to come.
