Steel Toes and Hired Hands
September 2021Steel Toes and Hired Hands is a poetic monologue play set to music that gives voice to those seldom heard in Chattanooga’s history during the 1950s — mill workers, domestics, and hired hands, based on interviews with working-class folk who lived and worked in Chattanooga during that time. The musical interludes– the bridge that connects the stories– include R&B, Country, and Rock ‘n’ Roll. Steel Toes and Hired Hands was performed September 24-26, 2021, at Miller Park in downtown Chattanooga.
