About the Musical
Based on Studs Terkel's best-selling book of interviews with American workers, Working paints a vivid portrait of the workers that the world so often takes for granted: the schoolteacher, the phone operator, the waitress, the millworker, the mason and the housewife, just to name a few. Nominated for six Tony Awards, this classic has been updated for a modern age, featuring new songs by Tony Award-winning Lin-Manuel Miranda and James Taylor. This new 2012 version of Working is a musical exploration of 26 people from all walks of life. While most of the professions have been updated, the show's strengths are in the core truths that transcend specific professions; the key is how people's relationships to their work ultimately reveal essential aspects of their humanity, regardless of the trappings of the job itself. The show, still set in contemporary America, contains timeless truths. This new version of Working allows the audience to get a rare glimpse of the actors and technicians, working to put on a show. This raw adaptation only enhances the realistic and relatable nature of the subject matter. Tickets for the Spring Musical Working are on sale now! CLICK HERE to get tickets.

Cook softball notes: Fremd, Palatine set to pave the way
The Daily Herald, April 16, 2024
Buffalo Grove: Bison second-year coach Martha Kelly believes Kayla O'Malley is the best outfielder in the area. "With her in the outfield, the outfield is where fly balls go to die," Kelly said. "She can cover more ground than anyone I have ever seen. She leads by example every day with her effort — diving for balls at practice and tossing lazer-like throws.” Read Story
