The hopes, dreams, joys and concerns of the average working American are the focus of this unique, extraordinary musical. That the everyday lives of “common” men and women should be so compelling and moving will surprise and inspire anyone who has ever punched a time clock, punched a cow, or punched a co-worker - or wanted to.
Based on Studs Terkel’s best-selling book of interviews with American workers, “Working” paints a vivid portrait of the men and women the world so often takes for granted: the schoolteacher, the parking lot attendant, the waitress, the millworker, the mason, the trucker, the fireman, the housewife, just to name a few.
A co-production between The Theater Company and The Attic Ensemble, this musical features the talents of Emily Beatty, Mark Dunn, Jenny Fersch, Erin Flanagan Lind, Margaret Leone, Judith Moss, Joseph Mulholland, Marvin Riggins, Jr, Elizabeth Slack, and James E. Splond. Cast bios: www.thetheatercompany.org/Working.html
Directed by Billy Mitchell and musically directed by David Zimmerman, the show performs on April 23 through May 9, with 8pm performances on Friday and Saturday nights, 3pm performance on Sundays, and 7pm performances on Thursday evenings.
