ASOLO REP’S ‘WORKING’ CONTRIBUTOR LEADS TONY AWARD NOMINATIONS TODAY
Lin-Manuel Miranda’s musical IN THE HEIGHTS has taken the lead today for Tony nominations. Miranda’s nominations are for Best Actor in a Musical and Best Musical Score. The show earned a leading total of 13 nominations, including Best Musical.
Asolo Repertory Theatre congratulates Miranda for the sweeping recognition his Broadway musical garnered today. Miranda is a collaborator and has contributed two new songs to Asolo Rep's production of WORKING that opens this Friday, May 16.
WORKING, a musical adapted by Stephen Schwartz from the best selling book by Studs Terkel is based on Terkel's conversations about with real American working people about their jobs. Schwartz, a multiple Tony and Oscar nominee himself, wrote some of the songs along with other well-known artists including musical legends James Taylor, Micki Grant,and Craig Carnelia.
Stephen Schwartz will be in attendance for the opening night performance and afterparty of WORKING this Friday at 8:00 p.m. Lin-Manuel Miranda’s parents also will be here to proudly represent their son at the opening and afterparty, as Lin-Manuel is unable to break away from his Broadway show.
The festivities around WORKING will take on a special excitement as Asolo Rep and the WORKING cast and creative team celebrate Miranda’s sweeping Tony Award nominations.

ON RE-IMAGINED “WORKING” FOR ASOLO REP
March 27, 2008 (SARASOTA, FL) – Stephen Schwartz,Lin-Manuel Miranda and Director Gordon Greenberg are collaborating on a re-imagined production of WORKING A Musical to be produced by Asolo Rep in Sarasota. Schwartz and Miranda are contributing new material to the show.
Asolo Rep’s Producing Artistic Director Michael Donald Edwards – “We are proud and honored to bring together such an award-winning group of artists to breathe new creative life into such a beloved work. The creative team is brilliant. They are all at the top of their game and extremely talented. This new version of WORKING is fresh and dynamic; it pulses with the energy and rhythm of today.”
Asolo Rep’s production of WORKING will be directed by Gordon Greenberg and choreographed by Joshua Rhodes; with music direction by Mark Hartman, scenic design by Beowulf Boritt, costume design by Mattie Ullrich, lighting design by Jeff Croiter, and projection design by Aaron Rhyne & Beowulf Boritt.
WORKING already features the work of musical high-achievers such as Stephen Schwartz, James Taylor, Micki Grant, Craig Carnelia, and Mary Rodgers. And the revamped production will featurenew music by Broadway’s rising star, Lin-Manuel Miranda, who was recently lauded for his big hit In the Heights.
Casting for the show has just been finalized and discloses a substantially smaller group of actors than the original version of WORKING. The cast of six includes Marie-France Arcilla, Darrin Baker, Colin Donnell, Danielle Lee Greaves, Nehal Joshi, and Liz McCartney.
Says Gordon Greenberg about the production, “It’s amazing. Terkel’s hugely popular exploration of ‘the extraordinary dreams of ordinary people’ is still as relevant as ever and full of insights. Stephen and I have been talking about doing a pared down production of WORKING for the past eight years, even before we began working on The Baker’s Wife. Using only six transformative actors, the idea was to expose the bones of the production itself, allowing the audience a glimpse into the actors’, stage managers, and crew’s processes. With Lin-Manuel creating additional material and Asolo Rep to launch the new production, we’ve found the ideal circumstances to finally realize this vision.”
Rehearsals commence in Florida on April 22, with previews on May 14 and 15, 2008. Opening night is on May 16th at 8:00 p.m. with a "mingle with the stars" champagne afterparty following the performance. The show runs Tuesday to Sunday through June 8, 2008.
Tickets ($10 - $56) are available by calling the Box Office at 1-800-361-8388 or going to the Asolo Rep website at www.asolo.org. This is an Asolo Rep production in the MERTZ Theatre at 5555 North Tamiami Trail in Sarasota, Florida.
SYNOPSIS
Do you love your job? Or can you not wait to punch out at the end of the day? Are you ecstatic to go to work every morning? Or do you prefer the ease of retirement? Working explores the gamut of people’s emotions about their jobs. This well-loved musical based on the writings of Studs Terkel remains a witty and timely commentary on how work defines the worker’s self-worth and cultural legacy. This inventive re-imagining of a powerful and emotional audience favorite features characters from all walks of life ranging from trucker to housewife, waitress to corporate executive, fireman to schoolteacher, and more. With such a wide cross-section of characters, you’ll surely feel that at least one of them is singing your song.
DIRECTOR’S NOTE by Gordon Greenberg
When I first read Studs Terkel’s book Working: People Talk About What They Do All Day and How They Feel About What They Do, I was struck by its honesty and simplicity. Terkel managed to capture and catalogue a cross section of Americans talking about their jobs in the most candid ways. Before the advent of reality television, this was a revelation. It elevated the every day thoughts of working people to the level of drama.
In their descriptions of what they did for a living, the people who contributed to the book Working conveyed a sense of longing – a yearning to know that their jobs were significant beyond just their paychecks. Ultimately, it became clear that all of them shared the same desire -- to leave a mark on the world. From the waitress who sees herself as a star to the banker who believes that he works harder than anyone else, they all seemed to have a very human longing for relevance.
In 1978, a musical based on Terkel’s book appeared on Broadway. With a cast of 17 and fully realized scenic and costume elements, it was a knock-out presentation. The show struck a chord in theatregoers, who were not yet accustomed to what we now recognize as documentary theatre. WORKINGbecame a staple of academic theatre departments across the country, based on its diverse array of characters, excellent score and, ultimately, its humanity.
It is that core humanity that inspires this new production of WORKING. In paring down the cast size to six, we are able to focus more clearly on the distinct characters and the craft of acting. As the actors transform right in front of us on stage, we are reminded that they too are people at work. In further exposing the “bones” of the production – from the stage manager to members of the crew – we seek to include the audience in the very process of theatre.
WORKING is a celebration of the human spirit and the search for meaning in what we do for a living. This production honors all the people who make the show possible – from the people you see on stage, to the hundreds of people who got them there, to the people who put this program together. As the last song in the show says, “Everyone should have something to point to.” Indeed!

ANOMAL a supernatural play
Acclaimed MENTALIZER Ehud Segev To premiere new play At AMERICAN THEATRE OF ACTORS, New York City January 2 - 22, 2006
(PRWEB) December 9, 2005 -- World-renowned mentalist and entertainer Ehud Segev, also known as The Mentalizer, will premiere his new play ANOMAL for a limited engagement at the American Theatre of Actors from January 2 – 22.
In ANOMAL, Ehud Segev shares his unusual life story and his inspiring perspective on life by telling the amazing story of a young man who developed supernatural abilities.
Critically acclaimed worldwide, Segev’s one-man play offers a rare opportunity to take a brief view into the life of a psychic entertainer, displaying his relationships with others, and showing the highlights and downfalls of possessing such abilities.
About Segev’s previous show at Theatre Row, NEW YORK Magazine declared that Segev “will amaze even the most skeptical in the audience.”
ANOMAL is written and performed by Ehud Segev, directed by Glory Bowen, with original music by Nir Graf, lighting by James Bedell and scenic design by Roy Nachum.
Known as the foremost Israeli specialist in the psychic medium, Ehud Segev was asked to make his first national TV appearance at age 16. Three years later he predicted who would win the race for the mayors’ chair in a few cities in Israel. With only a photo to reference, Segev used his psychic abilities to compose a profile on each candidate and foresee the winners – 11 days before the election. Segev was 100% correct. He explained to the press that he used his mental skills to analyze the candidates. That’s when people started calling him the Mental Analyzer, or soon to be nicknamed The Mentalizer. The Mentalizer phenomenon quickly spread and Segev has been touring the globe and performed for thousands of awestruck audiences around the world ever since.
ANOMAL plays at the American Theatre of Actors (314 W 54th St) from January 2 – 22, Mon-Fri at 8:00PM, Sat and Sun at 2:00PM and 7:00PM. Tickets are $35-$55: Theatermania.com 212-352-3101 or www.ANOMAL.com.

HOT
Flash! It's World Menopause Day on October 18th ... Celebrate in Philly
at Menopause The Musical at the Society Hill Playhouse
PHILADELPHIA,
Oct. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- World Menopause Day is October 18th and it has
been recognized in many countries throughout the world. Implemented by
the International Menopause Society and the North American Menopause Society
in the United States, it's a day to honor women who are entering this
vital stage of their lives.
What could be a better way to recognize this cycle of life for millions
of women, than by enjoying the theatrical event Menopause The Musical(TM),
written and produced by Jeanie Linders, which has struck a profound chord
with its entertaining and encouraging message. Being presented at the
Society Hill Playhouse in Philadelphia, it gives "the silent passage"
a voice to which women everywhere can relate. More and more women are
realizing they are not alone at this time in their lives, and that menopause
is something to be celebrated. Linders has succeeded in launching a musical
that brings women together, not unlike a "sisterhood," to honor
this passage.
The show begins with four women of different backgrounds who meet each
other at Bloomingdale's in New York City. They soon discover they have
more in common than even they would suspect when the topics of hot flashes,
night sweats, too much sex, not enough sex, and more are discussed! Sung
to parodied tunes from the '60s and '70s, it has women laughing, cheering
and dancing in the aisles.
Now enjoying its fourth year in production, Menopause The Musical(TM)
debuted in a 78-seat converted retail store in Orlando, Fla. in 2001.
It subsequently opened off-Broadway where it is still playing, and can
now also be seen in Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, Boston, Cleveland,
Denver and Orlando. This fall it will open in Des Moines, Ft. Lauderdale
and Philadelphia and, in spring 2005, it's slated to open in Sarasota,
Indianapolis, Charlotte and San Francisco. It has played in Malaysia,
The Philippines, Mexico, and will be translated to Hebrew for a run in
Israel; Korean for that country; and will open soon in Australia.
In 2005, Menopause The Musical(TM) will embark on a 40-city national tour
to bring awareness to and raise funds for ovarian cancer. Menopause The
Musical Out Loud(TM) will generate income through ticket sales for local
chapters of the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance and National Ovarian
Cancer Coalition, in addition to providing awareness to this insidious
disease. When women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer, treatment launches
them into an immediate menopause.
Tickets for Menopause The Musical are on sale by phone at 215-923-0210,
on the Internet at http://www.ticketweb.com/ and at the Society Hill Playhouse
Box Office at 507 S. 8th Street (near South Street). Performances begin
on Wednesday, October 13. Showtimes are Tuesdays through Fridays at 8
p.m., Saturdays at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.
Tickets are $42.50. Group rates, including special Girls' Night Out groups
of 10 or more are available. For more information, please visit or call
