*WHAT*

Coming this spring, Ad Astra Theatre Troupe, a student run theatre group,
presents it’s fourth season main stage play, *Triangle* by Laurie Brooks.

There is no fee to participate. There will be opportunities for students to
perform on stage, as well as working behind the scenes.



Set against the backdrop of the historic Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire
of 1911, this stylistically thrilling play explores the immigrant
experience then and now through the tragedy of the “fire that changed
America.” Sophie, a 16 year old seamstress who died in the fire, haunts
Malena, a modern Hispanic girl in conflict with her sister, Isabel. Sophie
is filled with guilt because she did not save her sister, Rose, from the
fire and now cannot find her. When Sophie, along with the ghosts of other
dead factory girls, appears to her, Malena encourages Sophie to tell her
story, never imagining they will all be transported back in time to relive
the tale. An ensemble of actors portrays the ghosts of those who died in
the fire and seamlessly takes on individual roles in Sophie’s story. In
this tale of regret, responsibility, and forgiveness, Sophie reveals her
terrible secret and finds peace while helping Malena see her sister in a
new light.
