PStage Right takes a song-filled look at 'Working'

Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: "Stage Right celebrates the meaning of 'All in a day's work' for a variety of people in different professions at Greensburg Garden and Civic Center this weekend. The Greensburg-based professional theater company will stage three performances of 'Working,' a musical based on the best-selling book of interviews with American workers by Studs Terkel. With a score by award-winning composer Stephen Schwartz ('Wicked,' 'Godspell') and other artists, the show focuses on the hopes and dreams of everyday workers who share their thoughts through monologues and songs.

This sounds like a really interesting show, and something that I would like to have the opportunity to see. As much as fantasy and unrealistic shows are entertaining and a lot of fun, there is something to be said for the shows that regard the plight of the everyday person and are more relatable to us as people on a daily basis. These shows have merit because it is easier to connect with a real persons story. Yes, while fictional shows can be emotionally investing as well, they are, at the end of the day, not real and don't have the same visceral response.
