STOCKTON — Delta drama students in May will perform the musical “Working,” a vivid portrait of the working men and women who the world so often takes for granted.

Based on Studs Terkel’s bestselling book of interviews with American workers, “Working” tells the stories of a schoolteacher, a waitress, a millworker and others. The revised and modernized musical has been nominated for six Tony Awards and features songs by award-winning composers Lin-Manuel Miranda, Stephen Schwartz and James Taylor, to name a few.

The musical is just one of several performing arts events taking place at the college this May. Visit dca.deltacollege.edu for details.

“Working” will feature 7 p.m. shows on May 4, May 5, May 11 and May 12. The production will also take place at 2 p.m. on May 6 and May 13. Tickets are $9 for adults and $4 for students or seniors and can purchased online at dca.deltacollege.edu. Tickets can also be purchased over the phone (for $3 more per order) by calling the box office at (209) 954-5110.

The show is for those ages 13 and older. It is directed by Professor Ashlee Temple and features a cast and production crew of about two dozen.

Tickets are also available for the upcoming Choral Finale Concert (May 10), Delta Jazz in Concert (May 15) and the Delta College Symphonic Band Concert (May 16).
