Central Square Theater

Apr 1 - 25, 2027

Central Square Theater once again joins forces with The Front Porch Arts Collective on a stirring musical amplifying the voices and dignity of everyday people, while revealing the human cost behind labor in America. Based on Studs Terkel’s groundbreaking interviews and utilizing music from some of our greatest songwriters, in an all-new production, we embrace a multicultural community-wide theatrical event speaking directly to our friends and neighbors in Cambridge and beyond. Helmed by The Porch’s Producing Artistic Director Maurice Emmanuel Parent (Ain’t Misbehavin’), Workingis a moving call for recognition, respect, and social justice for those who keep society running.
