    The Cradle Will Rock a play in music by Marc Blitzstein directed by Norma Saldivar Music Direction by Scott Foss Mitchell Theatre November 16-December 8, 2012

    Why dont you write about all kinds of prostitution? As a response to this question from Bertolt Brecht, Marc Blitzstein created The Cradle Will Rock, a blend of realism, romance, vaudeville, comic strip, Gilbert & Sullivan, Brecht, and agitprop, in 1937. His first musical comedy, this satirical glimpse into Steeltown, USA offers a biting critique of corruption, commerce, and humanitys value in the face of unchecked capitalismissues that continue to divide our country and state 75 years later. Meet Moll, Blitzsteins beloved hooker-with-the-heart-ofgold. Follow Larry Foreman as he tries to unionize the steelworkers, much to the chagrin of Mr. Mister, the evil business owner. Join us for this important, witty drama about Joe Worker: Not much fun and not much glory. Low class, low down. The thing you never care to see until there is a showdown. Rise up!
