As we honor the centennial anniversary of the Argonaut Mine Disaster, the Main Street Theatre Works will present a dramatic reading of the Gold Fire by Laurence Rutter.  In Gold Fire, Rutter recreates the disaster and rescue effort by using the miners, rescuers, reporters, and other officials that were there.   The disaster, still California’s worst mining disaster, cost the lives of 47 miners.

The reading of Gold Fire will take place at the Kennedy Mine Amphitheatre.  The reading will begin at 8 pm on both Friday, September 23rd and Saturday, September 24th, 2022.  Doors will open at 6:30 pm.  The performance is free but to guarantee yourself a seat, be sure to pick up tickets ahead of time at the Kennedy Mine gift shop or the Amador County Chamber of Commerce.
