On Stage This Week - "Working"

Taking the stage this week is the final show for the season for the Marshall Theatre Alliance - and it's a musical!

Working runs April 13-16 at 8 p.m. and April 17 at 2:30 p.m. at the Joan C. Edwards Performing Arts Center.

The show is based on oral historian Studs Terkel’s bestselling book, Working: People Talk About What They Do All Day and How They Feel About What They Do.

One worker’s story blends seamlessly into another’s as ordinary people reflect on their jobs and on the greater meaning of work. The songwriters who collaborated on Working find the soaring power and unique poetry of musical theatre in the spare, revealing and honest words originally spoken to Studs Terkel.

Tickets are $20 for adults and $15 for MU Faculty and Seniors. The show is free to full-time Marshall students with a valid ID. For more information or to reserve tickets, call the Marshall Theatre Box Office at 304-696-2787.
