A story about struggles, morality and redemption in a typical company of today. With the banking crisis and the Bernie Madoff scandal still swirling in the news, this is a timely and poignant tale pitting the pushy owner of a company against his staff as they work to get their products built and sold.  The reading of this musical comedy will show the typical challenges we all face today as workers with families, fearing uncertainty about the future. A not to miss theatrical experience!
