Performing
Arts at Oakton Stages 'Working (the musical)'
Free Preview Lecture Looks at Emotional Techniques of Musicals
Celebrate the diversity and commitment of Americans in their everyday occupations during the Performing Arts at Oakton's production of "Working (the musical)" April 22 - May 8 at Studio One, 1600 E. Golf Road.
"Working (the musical)" captures the essence of Studs Terkel's 1972 oral history featuring stories of the working class. Written by Stephen Schwartz and directed by Frank Del Giudice, the play features songs by James Taylor, Craig Carnelia, and Mary Rodgers.
In conjunction with the performance, Oakton will sponsor "Celebrating Ordinary People in Song," a free preview lecture on Wednesday, April 14 at 1 p.m., in the theater lobby at the Des Plaines campus. Dan Detloff, a member of Oakton's music and arts faculty, will discuss the special qualities of musical theater as exemplified by "Working (the musical)."
A $5 preview of "Working (the musical)" will be staged Thursday, April 22 at 8 p.m. Regular performances are Fridays, April 23, 30, and May 7 at 8 p.m.; Saturdays, April 24, May 1 and 8 at 8 p.m.; and Sundays, April 25 and May 2 at 2 p.m.
