Working

This Season

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.

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. It’s a highly original look at the American
landscape that’s simply impossible to forget.
