Based on Studs Terkel's bestselling book, ordinary Americans — a waitress, a steelworker, a schoolteacher, a firefighter — step forward to describe their daily jobs, their frustrations, and small triumphs. Through monologues and songs, these workers paint an honest portrait of working-class America.
