About the event
WORKING - A MUSICAL
Behind every job, there is a person with a story to tell.
Working is one of the most accessible, relevant, and substantive musicals ever created. Based on Studs Terkel's best-selling book of interviews with American workers, Working paints a vivid portrait of the workers that the world so often takes for granted: the schoolteacher, the phone operator, the waitress, the millworker, the mason, and the housewife, just to name a few. Nominated for six Tony Awards, this classic has been updated for a modern age, featuring songs by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Stephen Schwartz, Craig Carnelia, James Taylor, Micki Grant, and more.
LaGuardia Performing Arts Center’s production of Working will feature a blend of professional actors and local community members to present this powerful piece of theater.
