The 2018 spring musical, Working, is about everyday working class individuals and the ways in which they struggle with their jobs and find meaning in their work. “MA Workers” is a project by seniors Luke Burnham and Emma Melling designed to give workers within the Minnehaha community a chance to share about their jobs and be appreciated for the ways in which they impact our community on a day-to-day basis.
