June 2017

Adapted by Nina Faso
Additional Contributions by Gordon Greenberg

Songs by Craig Carnelia, James Taylor, Mary Rodgers, Micki Grant, Stephen Schwartz, Susan Birkenhead, Lin-Manuel Miranda


Nominated for 6 Tony Awards, this classic has been updated for a modern age featuring new songs by Tony Award-winning Lin-Manuel Miranda, as well as favorites by Stephen Schwartz, Craig Carnelia, and James Taylor.

This new 2012 version of Working is a musical exploration of 26 people from all walks of life. While most of the professions have been updated, the strength of the show is in the core truths that transcend specific professions; the key is how people's relationships to their work ultimately reveal key aspects of their humanity, regardless of the trappings of the job itself. The show, still set in contemporary America, contains timeless truths. This new version of Working allows the audience to get a rare glimpse of the actors and technicians working to put on a show. This raw adaptation only enhances the realistic and relatable nature of the subject matter.
​

With extremely modest set and orchestra requirements, universal subject matter, and featuring a multi-ethnic ensemble cast of variable size, Working is one of the most accessible, relevant and substantive musicals ever created. The new, revised 2012 version includes updated lyrics, a streamlined book and two new songs.
 

Audition Dates: March, 2017
Performance Dates: June 29 - July 2, 2017

Audition Age Range: 12 - 18 Years
Students younger or older than the age range must email ratakwillis@gmail.com for permission
Tuition: $500 (if cast)

Discount for siblings and scholarships available
Optional Ticket Packet: $100 for 10 tickets
Sibling Discount: $50 discount for each
additional sibling
