Course Description

Join OLLI Students in the Alliance Theater Performance of Working. This musical will be viewed online as a group. Seats are limited so sign-up early!

This past year America learned how much we depend on the working staff.

The grocery story bagger, the restaurant dishwasher, the delivery driver, the practical nurse: These people put their lives on the line so that we could continue to live ours.

That’s why the time is right for a show like “Working: A Musical.”

From the book by Studs Terkel
Adapted by Stephen Schwartz and Nina Faso
With additional contributions by Gordon Greenberg
Songs by Craig Carnelia, Micki Grant, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Mary Rodgers and Susan Birkenhead, Stephen Schwartz, and James Taylor

Directed by Tamilla Woodard

Everyone should have something to point to, something to be proud of WORKING: A Musical explores what makes our work meaningful across all walks of life. Whether it be in an office, a restaurant, your home, or you are retired, this musical reminds us to celebrate not only what we do, but how we do it. With original songs by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Stephen Schwartz, and James Taylor, the Alliance Theatre™ concert staging of WORKING will premiere as part of the Under the Tent series.
