Our touring company brings all the necessary costumes, props and equipment. All you need to supply is a performance space measuring approximately 20 square feet. We suggest that students sit on the floor in front of the performers for the best view.
A Brand New Musical...

ROSIE THE RIVETER!
During World War II, manufacturing plants that produced munitions and war supplies were in desperate need of workers. As many men were off at war, women who typically worked in other trades or in the home were asked to join the factory workforce to help the United States with the increasing demand of supplies for the Allies. "Rosie the Riveter" became an icon of the ideal female worker—loyal, efficient, and patriotic.
The can-do spirit of the 1940s comes to your school in this fast, funny, and inspirational musical adventure. Your students will be amazed by the story of the triumphant women who joined the workforce, drove the taxis, paved the highways and, yes, riveted the airplanes when the men marched off to war.
