Call for Participation for the musical WORKING
Are you a teacher, delivery or food service worker, frontline or essential worker, high school or college student, a community organizer or part of a community chorus? If so, we want to hear from you.
The Alliance Theatre invites you to participate in a musical production of WORKING, part of the Under the Tent series at the Woodruff Arts Center, April 22 - June 6, 2021.
This unique concert production of WORKING includes a sound design based on interviews with Atlanta’s workers. It celebrates the strength and fortitude of our community gathered and working together this past year and spotlights the contributions of Atlantans that make this city work—those like you!
You can participate in two ways:
1. Self-record part of a song
Record yourself singing along to moments in the opening and closing numbers of the show.
WHAT DO YOU NEED?
You will need two devices (phone, tablet, or computer), one with a MICROPHONE to record your singing, and one device with internet connection and earbuds/headphones to listen to the music.
