The Helen Hayes Awards has recommended Keegan’s production of WORKING - A Musical, now playing through May 13!

As part of the ongoing slate of Dupont Festival events, The Keegan Theatre will present a special performance, "Music in the Circle" on May 5, 2012 at the Dupont Circle Park in Washington, DC.

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 waitress, the millworker, the mason, and the housewife, just to name a few. With music written by a slate of amazing composers that include James Taylor, Lin Manuel-Miranda, and Stephen Schwartz, WORKING is a highly original look at the landscape of the American workplace, and how our careers inform and give meaning to our lives.

Inspired by the playwright’s youthful experience as a staff writer on Sid Caesar’s Your Show of Shows, this Neil Simon favorite depicts the harried writing staff as they frantically scramble to top each other with gags while competing for the attention of star madman Max Prince. Laughter on the 23rd Floor takes a look at the backstage chaos that goes into writing and producing a show during the 1950's golden age of television.
