BELLINGHAM – Western Washington University’s Theatre Arts Department will present Stephen Schwartz’s musical “Working” from Nov. 8-18.

Tickets cost $12 for the general public, $8 for students and seniors (age 62 or over), and may be purchased at the WWU Box Office.

The WWU Box Office is open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, 2 to 5 p.m. Saturdays and one hour before show time. “Working” was written by Stephen Schwartz (“Godspell,” “Pippin,” “Wicked”), and is based on the national best-selling book by Pulitzer Prize winner Studs Terkel. The play is a concept musical, revolving around the theme of present-day American workers and how they perceive themselves within the context of their professions. “Though the characters’ names are fictional, the words are those of real people struggling to maintain their identity through their jobs. This makes the stories within ‘Working’ as honest and as personal as if the audience were interviewed about their professions during each performance,” said Flygare. “It is the story of the American worker. It is the story of each of us.” A complete schedule of “Working” show times is available at the WWU Theatre Arts Web site: http://www.wwu.edu/depts/theatre. The Theatre Arts Department offers free shuttle service to on-campus performances. For more information, call (360) 650-3879. |
