Dinner & A Show – Theater: Working

March 2, 2023

The Ursinus College Theater Department has teamed up with The Collegeville Economic Development Corp. (CEDC) to offer another “Dinner & a Show” promotion featuring Working, a musical adaptation of a work by Studs Terkel.

Ursinus College Theater - Working

The musical Working celebrates the work and workers that are the lifeblood of our community. Originally staged in the 1970s, the musical is based on oral historian Studs Terkel’s influential book, Working: People Talk About What They Do All Day and How They Feel About What They Do. The Ursinus College Theater production will update the musical further by employing documentary theater techniques to interview our local workers and to use their words in our script. This unique production creates a fresh, personalized show honoring the workforce within our own community.

Directed by Professor of Theater, Domenick Scudera, with musical direction by Dr. Holly Hubbs, and choreography by Dr. Karen Clemente.

  • When: Thursday through Sat, March 23 – 25, 7:30 pm, and
