SWITCHBOARD is a Neo-Futurist puppetry show exploring themes of memory and communication through the lens of the S.S. Eastland disaster. The Eastland was a passenger ship commissioned to transport Western Electric laborers and their families to a company picnic on July 24, 1915. Without ever leaving the dock, the Eastland mysteriously capsized downtown in the Chicago River, resulting in the deaths of 844 passengers and crew members.
