On Stage This Weekend: "Working"
You still have two more chances to catch Working as presented by the Marshall Theatre Alliance.
Working is a musical based on the 1974 book "Working: People Talk About What They Do All Day and How They Feel About What They Do" by Studs Terkel. The performance was scored by a group of musicians including James Taylor.
The book includes interviews with people from different regions and occupations. The overall theme of the book and the performance is meant to be an exploration of what makes work meaningful for people from all walks of life.
Working will be presented at 8 p.m. Saturday night and at 2:30 p.m. Sunday afternoon at the Joan C. Edwards Performing Arts Center on Marshall University's Campus.
For more information, call 304-696-ARTS (2787) or visit www.marshall.edu/cofa/theatre.
You can also see a photo gallery of pictures from the show right here.
And let me add, I really like that photo since it includes three fine actors and singers who grew up performing in shows in Huntington with First Stage Theatre Company. From left, you see Maggie Saunders (who's actually a senior in High School, but she's appeared in several plays at Marshall already), Josh Meredith and Scott Burner. Below you see another First Stage alumni - the talented Nathan Mohebbi.
I've heard lots of raves about the show, so it's highly recommended!
