Mothers of Ludlow

Music by Paul Boesing, Lyrics and Book by Martha Boesing

World Premiere!
This exciting new musical drama is a fictionalized account of the events leading up to the massacre of the striking coal miners and their families in Ludlow, Colorado in 1914.

The writers are a renowned composer and playwright team who have had their work produced at professional theaters across the country, such as the Academy Theater in Atlanta, Madison Repertory Theater, Trinity Repertory Theater in Providence, and the Minnesota Opera Company.

Full of beautiful music, Mothers of Ludlow is a story of desperate times, racial tension, courage and love. Playwright and composer will be on set, working with the cast during rehearsals. With a big cast and many principal roles, it's an exciting opportunity for everyone!
