DESCRIPTION:The Ballad of Polly Ann\nBy Flyaway Productions \nAn evening of dance 
 celebrating women who built the Bay Area’s bridges.\nThe project 
 celebrates the women who contributed to the design and construction of Bay 
 Area bridges. This performance shows their experience with physical work, 
 tools, heights, and machinery as well as their cultural experience working 
 in a male dominated labor force, and how that affects their sense of self, 
 femininity, family, and self worth. \nFlyaway Productions has built an 
 international reputation of bringing the lives and struggle of working 
 people to performance theater. One of their works on the Copra Crane in San 
 Francisco helped move the community to defend this relic of labor history 
 for the generation today. In this work using the oral interviews by labor 
 historian, Harvey Schwartz, of  female bridge workers, we get the real life 
 experiences of construction women on the job. The artistic portrayal of the 
 lives of working people is a critical element in helping to transform our 
 understanding of reality.\nChoreography: Jo Kreiter, in collaboration with 
 the company, Music: Pamela Z, Dancers: Mary Ann Brooks, Melissa Caywood, 
 Jennifer Chien, Britt Karhoff, Kelly Kemp, Raissa Simpson and Alayna 
 Stroud\nShow through 7/14 - 7/18, 7/21 - 7/25\nTickets: $20.00 advance, $25
