Looks like we were on the same wavelength ;-)
I’d contacted Marcus Gardley for another school asking if this play was
published anywhere…
He’s Oakland-born and comes back

to Bay Area…

The Sunday SF Chronicle article on Rosie the Riveter mentions a 2009 play
called “One World in a Woman’s Hands” about black women working in the Richmond
shipyards. P. k6 of-the Style section.
Perhaps contact the Rosie the Riveter / WWII Home Front National Historic Park
for a copy https://www.nps.gov/rori/Index.htm

Hi, Everyone,
My 10th grade English teachers are revamping the curriculum to align with our
Sophomore Projects that are research papers and presentations that can be on
any topic as long as it has a Sacramento angle. They are looking for books to
read that will relate to that. Specifically, right now, they are looking for a
play.
Does anyone know of a play that would appeal to sophomores and either take
place in Sacramento/California or relate to a topic such as Japanese
Internment, Gold Rush, flooding, water/drought issues, Donner Party, Black
Panthers, farming, etc.? For instance, a play about Japanese internment that
takes place in the Northwest would work even though the setting isn't
Sacramento because it can relate to the internment that happened here as well.
Thank you!
Jo
