"The drama of life on the home front of World War II will be re-enacted where it took place more than 60 years ago. 'Rivets,' a musical by East Bay playwright Kathryn McCarty, will tell the sweeping story of the war shipyards and the men and women who worked there, in a month of performances that begin Aug. 28 aboard the S.S. Red Oak Victory.
The Red Oak, built in Richmond and the last surviving victory ship, is one of the central pieces of the Rosie the Riveter/World War II Home Front National Historical Park and is anchored at the former Kaiser shipyard No. 3, now part of the Port of Richmond.
'Rivets' was well received when it debuted last fall, leading to a return engagement for which several new songs have been added."
Admission is $20 general, $15 seniors and students, with a $2 discount for those who bring a donation for the Blue Star Mom's Holiday Care Packages for soldiers.
