The first performance of KD College Conservatory of Film and Dramatic Arts production of "Working," a musical based on the 1974 non-fiction book by Studs Terkel, is set for 7:30 p.m. Thursday, November 11th, at KD Studio Black Box 2600 Stemmons Frwy Suite 117 Dallas, TX. The show runs Thursday-Saturday November 11-13 and November 18-20 at 7:30pm.

The play, which debuted on Broadway in 1978 and was updated for regional theatre in 1999, features a cast of KD College students, alumni, and faculty.

Paula Morelan, faculty member at KD College, is director and choreographer of the production, and Mark Mullino, also a faculty member at KD College, serves as director and music director.

WORKING is a musical based on the book by Pulitzer Prize-winning author and Chicago's own Studs Terkel. Newly adapted by Stephen Schwartz (WICKED, PIPPIN and GODSPELL), WORKING is the working man's A CHORUS LINE. The musical chronicles a day in the life of 26 average American workers, including an ironworker, a waitress, a stonemason, a trucker, a housewife, a UPS deliveryman, a teacher, a mill worker and a retiree. The characters perform monologues derived from interviews with actual workers in which they describe their daily routines and discuss their hopes and aspirations. WORKING celebrates everyday people, fills you with hope and inspiration and is the perfect musical for anyone who has ever worked a day in their lives.

General admission tickets are $15 and students may purchase tickets for $7.
Tickets are available by calling 214-638-0484.
