Presented by Actsafe Safety Association

A Timed Speed-Read of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire Trial Transcript with Additional Notes is a gripping immersive theatre piece by the Halifax-based Surplus Production Unit. The cast races against time to tell the true story of the fire that devastated the Jewish and Italian immigrant communities of New York in 1911, setting new standards for workplace safety and sparking a worldwide movement. With only a stopwatch and a stack of paper, and some theatrical magic, the story comes to life.

Surplus Production Unit is a Halifax-based performance group led by director Alex McLean. Born in Montreal and raised in Nova Scotia, Alex is now a co-artistic director for Zuppa Theatre in Halifax.

This production is presented with the generous support of Actsafe Safety Association.

Tickets: $30/Adults and $26/Students & Seniors (Eligible for ChutzPack)
