 Performances on Thursday, Friday and Saturday start at 7:30 p.m. and
on Sunday at 2 p.m."Working" is a down-to-earth yet elevating
musical that features songs based on real interviews. The play
explores the American workday, from the Monday morning blues to a
working person's pride in having "something to point to." Stephen
Schwartz and Nina Faso adapted "Working" into a stage play, mostly
using the original words of some uncommon common men and women.
Based on the best-selling book of interviews with American
workers by Studs Terkel, the show is directed by Rhyse Lovell, Kim
Peterson-Quinn and Julie Kasa. Kate Harmon serves as stage manager
and Janessa Merritt is the assistant director.
