VANDERGRIFT! by Anthony E. Gallo Monday, September 12, 7:30 PM
A historic comedy about a real town in Pennsylvania In the early 1890’s, steel tycoon George McMurtry tries to produce a unique marriage between architecture and industrialism to build a workingman's paradise in southwestern Pennsylvania designed by Frederic Law Olmstead. The issues then were immigration, the environment, labor unions, class distinctions, discrimination, and housing. Familiar? Of special interest to Presbyterians, steelworkers, Catholics, Scotch-Irish, Jews, Methodists, fortune tellers, Poles, labor unions, Italians, Pennsylvanians, segregationists, landscape architects, journalists, and stray dogs. Our American civilization?
