Sat. Sept. 17, 2022 @ 8:00 p.m. — Battle of Homestead Foundation and Calliope House present an in-person live stage performance of "Mother Jones in Heaven" at Univ. of Pittsburgh’s Henry Heymann Theatre, 4301 Forbes Avenue on the Pitt-Oakland Campus. Authored by acclaimed singer/songwriter Si Kahn, Mother Jones in Heaven stars Vivian Nesbitt as Irish-American labor organizer Mary “Mother” Jones (1837-1930), whose renown as a fearless fighter for workers’ rights earned her the label of “the most dangerous woman in America”.
The musical opens as Mother Jones arrives in Heaven to discover that it’s surprisingly identical to her favorite Irish pub just outside of Washington, DC. In the course of the 90-minute performance, Mother Jones looks back over her life, balancing the scales as she sifts through her storied past and weaving moments of profound insight with hilarious tales of a hellion in her prime. Guitarist John Dillon provides accompaniment to the original songs by Si Kahn.
