February 14 - March 10, 2019

  • “I could not possibly imagine it ever having been performed any better than what I experienced at the A.C.T. of CT!”

    -Sean Fallon, BroadwayWorld

  • ...altogether superb..."

    -Zander Opper, Talkin' Broadway

  • "This WORKING packs an emotional wallop."

    -Jim R, Take 2

  • "Daniel C. Levine’s WORKING is a snappy example of musical theater that really works."

    -Donald Brown, New Haven Review

Working original debuted in 1977, turning the stories collected by Chicago-radio personality Studs Terkel for his best-selling book on working lives into occasions for song and dance. The 2019 version at ACT, revamped by Artistic Director Daniel C. Levine, in consultation with Schwartz, updates elements of the show and, significantly, incorporates material from interviews Levine conducted with Ridgefield workers. The new version offers the best of both worlds: the Broadway polish of the original show together with home-grown local elements.

Working played its final performance on March 10, 2019.
