AFL-CIO Deputy Chief of Staff Thea Lee and Washington Teachers Union Local 6 president Elizabeth Davis will lead a conversation about the current issues facing America’s unions following Saturday’s 2p matinee of “Sweat” at Arena Stage. The discussion – which starts at 4:30p -- is free and open to the public; union members can save 20% on tickets to "Sweat" (call Carmen Samuel at 202-488-4380 to purchase tickets). "I found myself squirming in my seat as I watched the forces of fate, or, to be more specific, the mechanics of 21st-century American capitalism, bear down on these characters with the brutal power of a jackhammer smashing through concrete" wrote Charles Isherwood in the New York Times.
