The characters of WORKING are everybody you know. The situations are everyday situations. But this musical is anything but ordinary. A different look at the seemingly humdrum lives of working people reveals a myriad variety of hopes, aspirations and dreams. Of course, to some, life is a Monday to Friday drudge, but to others there is great pride in their daily routine.  A powerful contemporary score with songs by Stephen Schwartz and James Taylor among others, backed by a vital and dramatic book makes this musical a winner for all ages.
