A Firebrand Theatre Production Written and performed by Beau Dixon Directed by Linda Kash Music and lyrics written by Rob Fortin and Susan Newman Co-Presented with the 29th Annual High Performance Rodeo
Beneath Springhill is the incredible story of Maurice Ruddick, “the singing miner”, an African-Canadian who survived nine days underground during the historic Springhill mine disaster of 1958. He was awarded “Citizen of the Year” for saving the lives of his fellow workers by keeping their spirits up through his music. The play is celebration of the hope, courage and community.
