    Katy Visual & Performing Arts Center's Encore Players presents Working, The Musical. Directed by Jonathan Gonzalez; Adapted from the book by Studs Turkel; Music by the Broadway composer of WICKED!  Running October 1, 2, 3, 8, 9 & 10, 2010.

    Songwriter Stephen Schwartz started his career by writing music and new lyrics for Godspell, and went on to compose the Broadway mega-hit Wicked! In between, he co-adapted and directed Working, which explores the American work day from the Monday morning blues to the second shift blahs using the original words of some uncommon common men and women.

    WORKING, The Musical is about the hopes, dreams, joys and concerns of the average working American and is the focus of this unique, extraordinary musical. That the everyday lives of "common" men and women should be so compelling and moving will surprise and inspire anyone who has ever punched a time clock.

    Based on Studs Terkel's best-selling book of interviews with American workers, "Working" paints a vivid portrait of the men and women the world so often takes for granted: the schoolteacher, the parking lot attendant, the waitress, the mill-worker, the mason, the trucker, the fireman, the housewife, just to name a few. It's a highly original look at the American landscape that's simply impossible to forget.

    NOTE: Intended for mature audiences due to explicit language and content.
