About the Author

Little Falls resident, Angela Harris, was moved by the contemporary themes that converged in the Textile Strike of 1912 in that city, and chose a reader's theatre format to tell the stories of the events and individuals involved. Harris is a retired Community College English Professor and hold degrees in English Literature from Fontbonne University and the University of Kansas. She has been active in professional organizations and has published in the field. She comes from a family of professional and amateur historians, and her first venture into writing for theatre, Strike Story brings to life the surprisingly relevant 100 year old story of immigrants in the society and the role of unions in equalizing opportunities.
