Fabulous presentation by Aesthetic Realism Theatre Co.

Saturday, April 30, I attended a May Day Celebration at the American Labor Museum/Botto House National Landmark that was absolutely smashing! It was in honor of the IWW, the Wobblies, and among the entertainers were Anne Feeney and George and Julius. And the Aesthetic Realism Theatre Company sang and commented on union and labor songs. It was one of the deepest presentations I've ever heard, as that theatre company showed, for example, how the song "Ten Cents a Dance" is about the feelings of a working woman, a woman who has to earn money by dancing with customers--and someone makes a profit from her work--work which is degrading and saddening.
