LIZZIE'S
TUNE, a hand puppet show, is the
powerful story of labor leader Mother Jones and her meeting with fictional
Lizzie, a 10 year old who loves to play the fiddle and longs to do "something
useful". Set in 1912 against the backdrop of the mine wars in southern
West Virginia, the firey Mother Jones comes to life in a piece that engages
all ages. Participation is encouraged as Zimmer sings songs of the period
accompanied by the mountain dulcimer. |
