Thanks to all who came to @WorkingDc Saturday night to show their support of workers and the arts community! Great job by Shanara Gabrielle and all the organizers of this event.
It was invigorating to sit in front of the @AFLCIO and watch a show that lifts up the average working person via monologues from Studs Terkel’s book, “Working.” This wonderful musical @WorkingDc is just the right dose of songs, solidarity & collective effervescence that we need.
It’s NOVA Labor Night at this "upbeat musical being given an exultantly excellent production outdoors on Black Lives Matter Plaza" Can't wait to be joined by @FlyingWithSara and @va_labor to honor @DonBeyerVA! Celebrating #arts#culture#laborjustice & #joy tonight at BLM Plaza!
“As one character says during the show: “History is a hell of a lot of little people getting together and deciding they want a better life.” The entire entertaining evening was a vivid dramatization of that point. DON’T MISS IT.” - @dcmetrotheaterarts
