Touchstone Theatre presents the world premiere of “Prometheus/Redux”, an original play commissioned for Festival UnBound written by Gerard Stropnicky. Marking the 20th anniversary of Bethlehem Steel’s closing, and the seminal work “Steelbound” from our 1999 “Steel Festival”, “Prometheus/Redux” asks us how we define ourselves in the face of an ever-changing, ever more interconnected world. No longer “bound” to the steel industry, what has become of the proud steel-worker character Prometheus, and our community, 20 years later?
*There will be a panel discussion following the Saturday, October 5th 2pm performance facilitated by Bethlehem City Councilman Willie Reynolds from City of Bethlehem. The discussion will explore the changing landscape of our post-steel community, including topics of health and housing."
