In 1912 Lawrence, Massachusetts, Ellen, a textile mill worker, plans to marry Joseph, a mill manager from a prestigious Boston family. When Joseph implements pay cuts due to state-mandated working hour limits, the overworked employees stage a massive strike. The situation escalates as accusations of arson and infidelity arise, leading Ellen and her co-workers to make difficult choices, ultimately forcing Ellen to find her inner strength to determine which battles are worth fighting. Winner of the 2024 New Play Award from Portland Civic Theatre Guild.
