"After Work" the sequel to Twisted Roots will run this weekend at Barking Legs Theater. The new play/musical continues to give voice to the seldom heard of the past. This setting the early 60s in Chattanooga. The monologues give voice to working class laborers from three communities-- mill workers, domestics, and shifters. The music ranges from songs that bring to mind the unadorned close harmonies of Appalachian mountain women to the gospel songs of Sister Rosetta Tharpe and Mahalia Jackson. Showtimes are 7:30 pm August 14, 15, and 16. For tickets, http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/1996057
