is an original musical written by North East Ohio playwright Brian Smallwood (from Geneva) and composer Nicholas Underhill. Loosely following the novel Germinal by Emile Zola and some family history of Brian Smallwood, it depicts class struggles in a West

<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Georgia, serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">The award winning poet/playwright Brian Smallwood’s visceral poetry is combined with a musical style that ranges from folk to rock and classical. It shows the struggle of the
mining families in the context of continuous hard, dangerous work with little pay and no future in sight for the young except more of the same. There is an adversity, occasionally humorous, between the hard working miners and their employers. The morally challenged
manager of the Company Store uses his power to extract goods and sexual favors from the town women in exchange for loaves of bread. A stranger named Luther Mullins comes to town with an agenda related to this adversity, but we don’t know exactly what he wants
at the outset-unlike the protagonist in Sweeney Todd, who is clearly crazed with vengeance against those in his past. Luther quietly exerts his influence with the miners, and tensions build between workers and management Meanwhile, Sarah, a young girl, works
in the mines disguised as a boy, secretly hoping for a better life. The tensions in the town mount towards an inevitable climax of action.</span></p>
