A play based on the 1913 copper strike by playwright and drama professor Steve Feffer will have its first reading at the Calumet Theatre this weekend.  The premier of the play will also coincide with Christmas in Calumet festivities taking place throughout the month.  The play will debut at 1:00 pm on Saturday December 14.  Admission to the event is free and open to the public. The Calumet Theatre website is currently undergoing an update so there was limited information about the scope of the play online.
