CTI Conference Featuring "WORKING" on March 12
The Commercial Theatre Institute (CTI), in association with The League of Chicago Theatres, is proud to feature Broadway In Chicago's WORKING in an all-day case study on Saturday, March 12, 2011, at the third annual Chicago Producing Intensive Conference at the Goodman Theatre (170 N. Dearborn).
WORKING is a vital new musical based on the book by Pulitzer Prize-winning author and Chicago's own Studs Terkel. Adapted by Stephen Schwartz (WICKED, PIPPIN and GODSPELL), WORKING is the working man's A CHORUS LINE. It is a musical exploration of 26 people from all walks of life, with songs by all-star composers Craig Carnelia, Micki Grant, Tony Award winning Lin-Manuel Miranda, Mary Rodgers, Susan Birkenhead, Stephen Schwartz and Grammy Award winning James Taylor. WORKING celebrates everyday people, fills you with hope and inspiration and is the perfect musical for anyone who has ever worked a day in their lives.
The CTI-Chicago conference, open to anyone interested in producing, co-producing or investing in commercial theater has chosen WORKING as the ideal case study. WORKING personnel including Director Gordon Greenberg, Producer Jed Bernstein, General Manager Tony D'Angelo, Broadway In Chicago's Vice President Eileen LaCario, Broadway In Chicago's Senior Marketing Director Ashlee Harris, Broadway In Chicago's Executive Director of Sales Gemma Mulvihill, Above the Title Entertainment's Vice President of Marketing and Development Britt Marden and Margie Korshak Inc.
