Broadway In Chicago and the company of WORKING are pleased to announce their 'Local Heroes' program, created to honor and complement the new musical WORKING, which begins previews February 15, 2011, at the Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place (175 E. Chestnut). The program is designed to pay tribute to Studs Terkel's vision of showcasing everyday people. WORKING will honor Chicago's own through post-show conversations about who they are, what they do in life and how they make a difference. These conversations will include fascinating professions from doctors to firemen, to waitresses, assistants and sanitation workers and professions from every spectrum of our lives along with cast members of WORKING.

Nationally acclaimed vocalist Spider Saloff will make a rare appearance in South Bend for this elegant and romantic evening at the Palais Royal. Saloff will present a priceless collection of songs about love, many from the Great American Songbook as well as some lesser known material. She will also interject her own special brand of humor into the performance with antidotes about the songs and love itself!
