Mill Girl (rehearsed reading of selected scenes)

The old paper mill goes up in flames, taking with it the last symbol of a once-thriving town. With shops shuttered and schools closing, and her future narrowing to the dole or the army, Tasha refuses to give up. As the Iraq War breaks and protests erupt at home, she starts a fight of her own, right where she stands.

A reading of part of this play-in-progress, rooted in resistance and hope.

This event is available as part of the CumbriaFest Sunday Evening ticket and the CumbriaFest Sunday Festival Pass.
