Working The Musical

Torrington High School Student Theater will be performing Working: A Musical by Stephen Schwartz and Nina Faso on May 8, 9, and 10 at 7pm at THS Theater. 

Working: A Musical is a heartfelt and deeply human exploration of the American workforce, giving voice to the everyday individuals who keep our world moving. Based on Studs Terkel’s 1974 book, this musical offers a powerful and poignant portrait of real people, their struggles, and their dreams. The music is brought to life through the compositions of Stephen Schwartz and other talented songwriters such as Lin Manuel Miranda and James Taylor

What makes Working so unique is its ability to take the seemingly ordinary and reveal its extraordinary depth. These are stories of teachers, laborers, housewives, millworkers, waitresses, and more—each with their own joys, frustrations, and aspirations. This production seamlessly connects these seemingly unrelated jobs to show that some jobs may have more in common than we may think. The show is a reminder that every job, no matter how big or small, carries its own significance and impact.
