EVERY JOB HAS A STORY
Working is a celebration of everyday people and the jobs that shape their lives. Told through a series of monologues and songs, the show spotlights workers from all walks of life—teachers, laborers, servers, caregivers, artists, and more—each sharing their hopes, struggles, pride, and unseen contributions. And in honor of our local community, the piece is tailored to reflect the unique voices of Creede and the surrounding region, incorporating local stories and trades. Together, these portraits create a heartfelt, human tapestry that honors the dignity, humor, and resilience of the people who keep a community running.
