‘Working’ transports audience back to the 1960s

By Alexandra Schonfeld

On April 28th, The Department of Performing Arts will bring the stories of America’s unsung heroes to the stage with the Tony nominated musical, Working. Working, originally staged in 1974 is based on a book written by Studs Terkel, which he wrote after Terkel conducted interviews with hundreds of working men and women across the United States about their jobs and why they did them. The show has undergone many revisions, most recently in 2011 with the addition of two songs by 2016 Pulitzer Prize winner Lin-Manuel Miranda writer of both Hamilton and In the Heights. Elon will be performing the most recent revision including Miranda’s additions.  The show also features music by James Taylor, Craig Carnelia and many other songwriters and composers. The 20 actors all had to audition for the show before gaining access into the course where they did most of their rehearsing up until Grand Night on April 3rd, when they begun evening rehearsals as well as weekends. “With this show, because of the nature of the beast—if you will—we began individual monologue work, sometimes we start staging big company numbers, and we did do some of that, we staged the opening and middle section, but we started working a lot on the acting, because there are a as many monologues in the show as there are songs,” said director Lynne Kurdzeil-Formato.

‘Hemos olvidado la conversación’: el VIH/SIDA todavía afecta al Sur a medida que disminuye la conciencia

45 años después de los primeros casos de VIH/SIDA reportados en Estados Unidos, la lucha contra esta enfermedad está lejos de terminar, especialmente en el sur del país. Según los datos más recientes de los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades, el sur representó el 52% de todos los diagnósticos de VIH en Estados Unidos en 2023. "Sabemos que el VIH/SIDA ha afectado de manera desproporcionada a las personas de color y a las personas LGBTQ+ de color en este país", afirmó Jeff Bennett, profesor de estudios de comunicación en la Universidad de Vanderbilt. "Hay muchas personas que viven en zonas rurales, existe desconfianza hacia los profesionales de la salud y persiste el estigma social".

‘We've forgotten about the conversation’: HIV/AIDS still hits the South as awareness fades

45 years after the first reported cases of HIV/AIDS in the U.S., the fight against this disease is far from over, especially in the South. According to the most recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the South accounted for 52% of all HIV diagnoses in the U.S. in 2023. "We know that HIV/AIDS has had a disproportionate effect on people of color or queer people of color in this country," Professor of communication studies at Vanderbilt University Jeff Bennett said. "You have many people living in rural areas. You might have distrust of medical providers, you have the social stigma.”
