Cultural Arts Forum
Duffy’s Cut: An Archeological Study of Local Immigrants
Thursday, March 8, 2012
1:30 p.m.
Dr. William Watson,
Immaculata University Professor
The Duffy’s Cut Project is an ongoing archival and archaeological search into the lives and deaths of 57 Irish immigrants who came to the area to build railroads in 1832. Dr. Watson will discuss the story of these men who, in less than two months after their arrival, died during the second cholera pandemic. Prejudice against immigrants and Irish Catholics specifically contributed to the denial of care to these immigrant workers, who were often viewed by the owners and managers of railroad and coal mining companies as expendable components. Dr. Watson’s presentation will discuss what the research seems to support regarding the tragedy of these men and the plight of immigrants in the 1800’s.
Admission: General $7; FREE for Cultural Arts Forum members and Neumann students with ID
Neumann University Players
Working
From the book by Studs Terkel;
Adapted by Stephen Schwartz and Nina Faso
Thursday through Saturday March 15-17, 2012 at 8:00 p.m.
Sunday March 18, 2012 at 2:00 p.m.
The hopes, dreams, joys and concerns of the average working American are the focus of this unique, extraordinary musical. That the everyday lives of “common” men and women should be so compelling and moving will surprise and inspire anyone who has ever punched a time clock. Based on Studs Terkel’s best-selling book of interviews with American workers, Working paints a vivid portrait of the men and women the world so often takes for granted: the schoolteacher, the parking lot attendant, the waitress, the millworker, the mason, the trucker, the fireman, the housewife, just to name a few. It’s a highly original look at the American landscape that’s simply impossible to forget. www.neumann.edu/players
(Note: The dialogue in Working includes some strong language.)
