The New York-bound "Fabric, Flames, and Fervor: Girls of the Triangle" is heading to Natasha's Cafe, courtesy of Balagula Theatre this month, Wednesday, March 16. This benefit performance will help Looking for Lilith raise funds to take their original production to the Manhattan Theatre Source, just two blocks away from the original Triangle Factory. Looking for Lilith will perform there the week of March 20, including on the 100th anniversary of the fire, Friday, March 25, 2011. Come to Natasha's and see a little glimpse of New York glamour on Lexington's Esplanade next week!

Balagula Will Host a Louisville Theatre On Its Way to New York
The Balagula Theatre, Lexington Kentucky, will host a Benefit Performance of Fabric, Flames, and Fervor: Girls of the Triangle, an original play created and produced by “Looking For Lilith”, a Louisville based ensemble theatre.
The play was inspired by the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire of 1911 in New York City, and explores the lives of women and girls who were tragically killed in that garment factory fire, the ensuing trial against the owners, its effect on the labor rights movement and a drastic change of the US labor laws that it inspired.
The March 16 Benefit Performance in Lexington, as well as a number of performances in Shelbyville (Feb 24-26, Mar 3-5), aims to commemorate the 100th anniversary of this important event in the American History as well as to raise funds for this Kentucky theatre to present their powerful original work at the Manhattan Theatre Source (March 24-27) as a part of the national centennial remembrance event in New York.
