The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire of 1911 took the lives of 146 workers, most of whom were young, female immigrants between the ages of 13 and 23. These lives fell victim to corporate greed, corruption, and a prejudice that still raises its head in modern politics. What can these senseless actions teach us about ourselves and society over 100 years later?

When we selected The Triangle Factory Fire Project in our 2024-2025 season, we had no way of knowing that our production would become unfortunately timely. We are keenly aware that, as we tell the story of a tragic fire, firefighters in California are battling wildfires that have ravaged their state. We do not take the decision to move forward with our production lightly, and we hope that we are able to shine a spotlight on the important work of the California Community Foundation Wildfire Recovery Fund. We seek to provide opportunities for our patrons to provide financial support as the people of Los Angeles begin the task of rebuilding their beautiful home. https://www.pledge.to/ccfwildfirerelieffund
