This Sunday is Pins and Needles Day, hosted by Roberta Perry! This day might not have its origins in what you think!
The original Pins and Needles Day started up in 1937 to commemorate the opening of the pro-Labor musical play of the same name on Broadway.
The cast of the original production was made up of sewing machine workers and cutters who simply wanted to do something a little creative in their free time – the play would end up to be so successful that the cast members, who up until then were only able to rehearse at weekends – were able to quit their day jobs and take part in a full 8-weekly show performance schedule.
