The Charlestown Working Theater will present theatre KAPOW's "Raining Aluminum", an original piece based on the parallel storylines of the 1917 explosion in Halifax, Nova Scotia (and the subsequent American relief efforts) and Halifax's involvement in Operation Yellow Ribbon (the Canadian initiative to handle the diversion of civilian airline flights on 9/11). The project includes three performances, a training by KAPOW artistic leaders, a guest panel, and three post-performance gatherings. This performance is a natural for bringing to Boston, as Boston and Halifax enjoy an enduring close relationship based on the events researched in developing the piece.
