  • Dallas Theater Center Announces Changes to Season Schedule
    Contact: Paula Paggi, PR/Media Relations Manager (972) 342-4991 ❘ [email protected] Dallas Theater Center Announces Changes to Season Schedule DALLAS (May 4, 2021) - Dallas Theater Center, the 2017 recipient of the Regional Theatre Tony Award®, unveils changes to the rest of their season. Working: A Musical and Public Works Dallas’ A Little Less Lonely will finish out the 2020-2021 schedule. Unfortunately challenges in finding an outdoor venue have led to the cancellation of War of the Worlds. The next show will be Working: A Musical presented at Strauss Square in the AT&T Performing Arts Center July 7-18. Based on Studs Terkel’s bestselling book, this unique musical features the real-life words of average working Americans. Through original songs by Stephen Schwartz (Wicked), Lin-Manuel Miranda (Hamilton, In the Heights), James Taylor and others, Working lifts up the voices of teachers, waiters, truck drivers and the essential workers who often go unnoticed but whose work uplifts our lives day in and day out. “Working is a glorious exploration of why humans strive to do a good day’s work each and every day - even during a pandemic. Simply put, we strive to build upon our parent’s dreams, to build our own dreams, and to build a future for our children’s dreams. Under the beautiful and heartfelt direction of Diane and Hal Brierley Resident Acting Company member, Tiana Kaye Blair, making her Dallas Theater Center directing debut, Working helps us understand the “American” dream takes many shapes and forms. We could not be happier to bring Dallas audiences safely together, outdoors and socially distanced, to share in this musical theater celebration of essential workers, generational dreams and our common humanity,” said Sarahbeth Grossman, Artistic Producer, Dallas Theater Center.

  • A Lighting Design Process for a Production of Stephen Schwartz’S Working
    A LIGHTING DESIGN PROCESS FOR A PRODUCTION OF STEPHEN SCHWARTZ’S WORKING A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Master of Fine Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Matthew Dale McCarren, B.A. The Ohio State University 2008 Masters Examination Committee: Approved By Mary A. Tarantino, M.F.A., Advisor Daniel A.Gray, M.F.A. Advisor Graduate Program in Theatre Maureen Ryan, M.F.A. ABSTRACT Stephen Schwartz’s Working was produced at The Ohio State University Department of Theatre during the spring quarter of 2008. Included in this document is all of the documentation used for the implementation of the lighting design for this production. The need to work forces humans to interact with one another daily and requires us to deal with the added stressors that being in contact with other humans creates. This theme is central to the story of Working and is a major point of emphasis for our production of Working. Chris Roche in his Director’s Concept states, “The construction of Working at first glance seems isolated and solitary, so many different stories – but very little unifying factor. I believe the common thread is the workers themselves. Who do we meet on a daily basis, and how does each of those domino-like moments affect the greater whole of our lives?” In support of the director’s concept, the lighting design for Working aimed to create two separate lighting environments one of reality and the other of fantasy. The challenge was to then connect the separate environments into one seamless world where the line of reality and fantasy are blurred.
