DESCRIPTION:11/1 SF Performance Of "Fight for 52¢” By Howard 
 Petrick\nhttps://howardpetrick.com\n\nRay Dunne being arrested and removed 
 from the Teamsters Strike Headquarters by National Guard Troops August 1, 
 1934\n\nNOVEMBER 1, 2017 – 7:30 PM\nTHE MARSH\n1062 Valencia Street\nSan 
 Francisco, CA\n\n \nFight for 52¢\n60 minutes\nWritten and Performed by 
 Howard Petrick\nDirected by Mark Kenward\nCoached by Jill Vice\n 
 \n\n\n“The workers knew Ray Dunne as a good organizer, a man who smoked 
 union-made cigarettes, was fond of the movies, lived in his mother’s 
 house in South Minneapolis, didn’t get drunk, and was honest. They 
 followed his leadership and many of them, if the occasion offered, would be 
 quite willing to die for him. One reason was his physical courage. Life had 
 made bodily fearlessness a matter of routine. In the past two years alone, 
 Dunne has been beaten up several times by the police on picket lines, 
 attacked in the street by armed thugs, thrown into jail, confined in a 
 stockade under military guard by the governor. More important than physical 
 fearlessness is his moral nerve. He tells workers what he thinks of a 
 situation whether they like it or not. I have seen him argue down two 
 thousand truck drivers who opposed his policies.”\n–  Charles Rumford 
 Walker – AMERICAN 
 CITY\n\n___________________________________________________\n\n“… a 
 timely show, and it tells an important story about class struggle and the 
 roots of American organized labour,”  –  Apt 613 (Ottawa)\n “It’s 
 not just the forgotten history that makes V.R. Dunne so engrossing — 
 it’s the urgent, timely message that the man brings.”  –  Edmonton 
 Journal\n“Petrick’s investigation of Dunne is impeccable. He includes 
 anecdotes of Dunne’s personal life interspersed with the global effects 
 of his actions. He demonstrates the might of the union and, importantly, 
 the involvement of women not only as nurses and cooks, but also as 
 corporate spies.”  –  Showbill.ca (Victoria)\n“His story is rich in 
 detail, and his message—that human solidarity can triumph over greed—is 
 just as timely now as ever.”  –  Georgia Straight\n“Dunne was a 
 fascinating character and Petrick is an expert storyteller.”   –  
 Winnipeg Free Press\n“It’s a compelling piece that’s very well done, 
 and has a lot to say about our current situation.”  –  NUVO Indy’s 
 alternative voice\nTHE MARSH\n1062 Valencia Street\nSan Francisco, 
 CA\nNovember 1, 2017 – 7:30 pm\n
