"LuLu LoLo at Tenement Museum" - hailed by critic Arlene McKanic as “Funny…Heartbreaking…Poignant…Thought Provoking Theater…” - Greenwich Village Gazette, NY, July 9, 2001
EAST HARLEM VICTIMS OF THE TRIANGLE FIRE
LuLu LoLo was born, raised, and still lives in East Harlem,
just three city blocks away from where the Saracino sisters lived. When
LuLu first wrote the factory scene she selected the Saracino sisters
to portray without knowing that they had lived in East Harlem. It wasn't
until years later when LuLu read the list of victim’s addresses
in David Von Drehle’s book, “Triangle The Fire That Changed
America” did she learn that the Saracino sisters had grown up
in her neighborhood.
