About “Badger”
In 1944 Badger Ordinance Works was the largest ammunition plant in the world. The play follows the fictional stories of five young women who joined the Badger workforce to fill the holes left by men going to war. They experience dangerous work, relationship challenges, and a mix of joy and heartbreak amidst the darkest days of WW II.
The five women played by Trista Hemenway, Skyler Meis, Natalie Reicks, Emma Mlnarik and Emma Lea Ruterbories form an unlikely friendship. A vibrant ensemble brings both the factory and their home life to life featuring stories that are still relevant today.
This play was selected by directors Jessica Reestman and Alan Reicks not only for its powerful storyline but also for its ability to highlight a heavily female dominated cast.
