JOSHUA TREE, CA — WORKING: A MUSICAL celebrates the unsung heroes that keep America running!  The iconic and award-winning Hi-Desert Playhouse opens its newest Broadway musical praising the decency and dignity of America’s working class—from the hardworking waitress to the worn out millworker; from the backbreaking work of the stonemason to the world-weary schoolteacher.  Adapted for the stage by Stephen Schwartz and Nina Faso, WORKING: A MUSICAL opens Friday, February 8th at the Hi-Desert Cultural Center’s state-of-the-art Blak Box Theater in Joshua Tree, CA.

Based on Studs Terkel’s best-selling book of the same name and with a score by an illustrious list of songwriters: James Taylor, Craig Carnelia, Micki Grant, Mary Rodgers and Susan Birkenhead, this homage to the hard-working people who make America exceptional features a live band with Nelms McKelvain on piano, Lisa Rae Black on guitar, Greg Gordon on drums, and Paul Forrester on bass.  The ensemble cast of 17 local and award-winning artists includes, Andrew Accardi, Amy Angel, Benjamin Bees, Scott Clinkscales, Scott Cutler, Nicholas DeVinney, Sabrina Giron, Haley Kooyman, Catherine Inscore, Steve Lusk, Sarabeth Matilsky, Jered Palmer, Analisa Pilecki, Gilbert Pinela, Laurinda Stewart, and Gloria-Joy Yeaton.

WORKING: A MUSICAL has a suggested rating of PG 13.  Doors open one half-hour prior to the performance.  Tickets are $18-$32.  Avoid a credit card processing fee by purchasing tickets via cash or check in person at the Box Office.  Group discounts  for parties of 10 or more are also available.  Theater patrons must be at least 5 years of age to attend.  A no-host bar is available before each performance and during intermission.
