Theater
"The Moment Was Now" returns
After a successful run last Fall, The Moment Was Now musical returns to post-civil war Baltimore during the period of Reconstruction, "a moment when America almost did the right thing." Arlene Holt Baker, Exec VP, AFL-CIO (ret) called it "A historical masterpiece."
Echoing the current moment, the musical - written by longtime organizer Gene Bruskin -- centers around the impassioned search for unity among the dynamic leaders of powerful movements, at a meeting convened by Frederick Douglass. Hope hangs in the balance at this turning point in U.S. history. "Compelling...provocative...hard-hitting," said Chris Kaltenbach in the Baltimore Sun.

PLUS: Busboys & Poets' delicious food and drink will be available for purchase.
Part of the DC LaborFest's ongoing Bread & Roses series. Bread & Roses is a monthly labor series that features a variety of events focused on workers and organized labor. Each month brings a new topic through interactive discussions, film screenings, and performances. The hope for these events is that attendees walk away with a greater understanding of organized labor, its role in shaping history and current relevance. The name "Bread & Roses" was inspired by a poem/song written by James Oppenheim that appeals for both fair wages and dignified conditions.
