The Pajama Game at The Public Theater of San Antonio

Set in 1953, The Pajama Game is a musical with favorite songs like "Hernando's Hideaway" and "Steam Heat.”  The production focuses on a garment worker’s union in Iowa, negotiating a raise for its members at the Sleep Tite Pajama Factory. New lovers find themselves on opposite sides of the labor dispute throughout the negotiations. As a strike looms, everyone is fighting passionately for what they believe in: in work and in love. Nearly seventy years after its debut, this production’s bold new approach takes a fresh look at the characters and the laughs and tells a story of organized labor that continues to shape our nation today.
