Cast Announcement
Buck Creek Players and Director Melissa Devito are excited to announce full casting for our spring production of ROSIE THE RIVETER by Trey Clarkson. It’s January 1942, in the throes of World War II. Eddie, the owner of Eddie’s Auto Parts Factory in Cook County, Illinois, is struggling now that there is a freeze on the manufacturing of car parts. His secretary, Rosie, wonders if the factory can secure a government contract and be converted to make airplane parts instead— if only they can find the manpower. At a time when the radio and the mail were the main sources of information, and ration books were in every household, Rosie is willing to shed tradition, roll up her sleeves and do her part. She is chosen to become the iconic image that will inspire so many women workers to join the cause.
ROSIE THE RIVETER is scheduled for six performances over two weekends, March 27-April 5, 2020.
