Presented by The Magnetic Theatre at All Souls Cathedral’s Lenten Arts Series

Sunday, April 3 at 4:00pm

Every worker in this country will experience struggles within our capitalistic system. But what does it take to change that? Inspired by the Great Resignation Movement and recent worker strikes, experience stories of people who share one thing in common: a desire to see a kind and empathic workplace environment. This performance was devised by the ensemble as part of The Cathedral of All Souls' Third Annual Lenten Arts Series.

Free admission. Donations accepted at the door.
