Experience a unique and patchwork account of class through monologues and songs that compel us to take a peek in the lives of everyday laborers in this country with heart, compassion and gratitude.
In advanced societies, some jobs and the people who perform them get taken for granted, but in this 2012 remake of the 1977 original musical, everybody has a powerful voice, capable of shaking the very core of our everyday life. This version of Working features more contemporary pieces, including some written by Tony Award-winning Lin-Manuel Miranda, and 26 characters all searching for meaning, hope and truth in the relationship to their profession.
