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.
The Washington Post Review
“Keegan Theatre’s engaging production at Church Street Theater is workmanlike — that’s a compliment, not a condescension.”
DC Theatre Scene Review
“Director Shirley Serotsky’s intelligent double casting results in an equal-opportunity vision of the American tapestry, as each actor explores disparate sectors of the economic and cultural spectrum.”
DC Metro Theater Arts Review
“The Keegan Theatre’s production (aptly directed by Shirley Sertosky) is excellent, featuring a winning ensemble of 15, many of which play multiple roles.”
MD Theatre Guide Review
“Director Shirley Serotsky has done a fine job of weaving the monologues and songs together and the transitions are very smooth. “
