The Story

Frances Perkins

Steadfast is the story of brilliant reformer and public servant Frances Perkins – the brains behind Social Security, and the first female Cabinet member in U.S. history.

ACT I – Set around 1911, before women had the vote, Miss Frances Perkins wants to end child labor and improve factory safety. She evolves from a young social worker to a skilled and effective advocate for the working poor.  A societal tragedy of epic proportions cements her resolve to change things.  She confronts sexism (before it had a name), corruption and intentional sabotage by those who could help – but won’t.

How can she succeed?

Featuring melodies from the era, new original songs and a fun script, Steadfast is a refreshing work-in-progress you won’t want to miss!
