Anoka-Ramsey Community College Theater Students Bring 'Working' Musical To Life This Spring

As spring breathes new life into the city, Anoka-Ramsey Community College is no stranger to the season's vibrant touch. Workers were spotted outside the campus today, hands deep in the soil, as they planted an array of flowers, poised to bloom alongside the students' artistic endeavors. The scene outside mirrored a different kind of cultivation taking place within the college's walls, where theater students are diligently rehearsing for their upcoming spring musical titled "Working," set to debut this weekend.

Inside the campus theater, 14 students are gearing up to bring to the stage a narrative that is often left to the wings - the lives and aspirations of the American workforce. Planning to run on April 12, 13, 18, 19, and 20 at 7:30 p.m., the musical promises to offer a slice of life from the viewpoint of average workers, with their dreams and struggles front and center. While rehearsing tirelessly, the students are preparing to not only entertain but also illuminate.

The show "Working" draws its inspiration from Studs Terkel's book, which delves into the complexities of the workaday world through a series of interviews with everyday people. The musical adaptation celebrates the unsung heroes of society, with each performance shining a light on the human element behind the daily grind.

Tickets for the much-anticipated musical are now available for those interested in witnessing this heartfelt portrayal of American workers, here. According to a Facebook post by the City of Coon Rapids, Minnesota, the show's details and ticket information can be found on the college's theater website.

For those looking to catch a glimpse into the lives that keep America's heartbeat steady, "Working" at Anoka-Ramsey Community College is the place to be. As the spring flowers begin to unfold outside, the artistry and dedication of its students bloom inside, ready to share a story rooted in the truth of our communal labor.
