- Summary
- "Beneath Springhill is the incredible story of Maurice Ruddick, 'the singing miner,' an African-Canadian who survived nine days underground during the historic Springhill mining disaster of 1958. This multi-award-winning chamber musical recalls the events during the disaster, the effect it had on Ruddick's family, and the racial tensions in the town of Springhill. The play is a celebration of hope, courage and community."--
