WORK A New Musical: When Sydney receives a job offer in politics, she finds herself at a crossroads. Should she stay at her unfulfilling survival job until she finds a new passion, or can she reignite her now-disillusioned passion for politics? As Sydney traverses both fantasy and reality to come to a decision, she finds herself instead searching for the answer to the question that's always eluded her: in a broken political system, how is she capable of bringing about real change? WORK is produced by Victoria Detres and is in development with support of The Shubert Organization's Artistic Circle Initiative.
