Master Class is based on the larger-than-life opera diva, Maria Callas, who later in her career, held master classes at Juilliard in the 1970’s. In the play, the glamorous, commanding and hysterical Callas teaches a master class and shares her experience in opera and stage with the attendees (the audience). Three different students Sophie, Tony and Sharon have the opportunity to sing and receive constructive criticism. As each student performs, they become”‘victims” of Callas’s callousness. Callas comically and poignantly reminisces about her life on and off the stage, soliloquizing her innermost thoughts, regrets and personal inadequacies.

Working is the 2010 revised musical written by Tony-Award winner Stephen
Schwartz and Nina Faso. Working paints a vivid portrait of the men and women the world so often takes for granted: the school teacher, the phone operator, the waitress, the millworker, the mason, and the housewife, just to name a few. Set in contemporary America, Working contains timeless truths. The musical explores the workers’ relationships to their work and reveals aspects of their humanity, regardless of the trappings of the job itself.
