Carrollwood Player's production of Working closes next Saturday, November 7th, so, if you still want to see it, time is running out. For those of you who are not familiar with Working, it is a musical based on Studs Terkel's best-selling book of interviews with members of the American workforce. As one might expect, it explores the joys and frustrations of the working class, with 26 characters from a variety of fields, including housewives, corporate executives, firemen, waitresses, and millworkers. Set to spectacular music by Stephen Schwartz, famed composer of Wicked, Godspell, and Pippin, among others, this show is a must see for any true musical theatre lover.
This particular production is under the skilled direction of local favorite Kathy Buck and musically directed by Mike Walker. The star studded cast includes Jeanne Adams, Mike and Amanda Buck, Mike Dillard, CJ Celeiro, Julian Cunningham, Dawn Doughtery, Elizabeth and John Hooper, Megan Hoxie, Brigid Jennings, Ann Lehman, Filipe Olivero, Ereka Passarella, Mallory Quinn, Bob Rivelli, and Frank Weiss.
