ABOUT

ABOUT OUR SHOW
The Workshop (a musical) 11 individuals attend a personal development workshop with certain expectations and discover that this is way more than they ever anticipated.
By Chérie Carter-Scott, Ph.D. MCC and
Lynn U. Stewart, MCC.
An original concept coupled with an original score complete and ready for production.
Eleven hopeful participants (five men and six women), diverse in age, ethnicity, occupation, age, sexual preference, and objectives gather for a personal development workshop. They all long to obtain something very specific as they share their stories, some comic, some tragic but all are about human challenges. Each story is brimming with pathos, humor, and the universal underlying human connection. It employs the universal themes of wanting, fearing, risking, loss, breakdown and breakthrough as the human connectors that touch, elevate, and inspire.

PRESS

" A diverse range of musical styles! "

“The Workshop, A Dress Rehearsal For Life! is a musical that must be seen for many reasons. It’s a world-premiere in Bangkok; it’s the first instance of a musical created out of a personal motivational workshop, and it’s the first

English-language international production in Bangkok that has an all-Thai cast.”

“The cast portrayed the “difficulties” in their life that they were trying to overcome with pathos and acting talent that belied their amateur status. The dance routines were complex and exciting, yet were spot-on, with not a step out of place. They were performing at the top of their game, and the stories they were telling resonated with the audience. Ernie suffering from losing a wife of 30 years to cancer, Karen trying to overcome an eating compulsion, Pete Pol/Venda trying to deal with his gender understanding, to those who can never say no, to how to find a voice, to how to explain the trauma of a sexual assault, and more. These all sound daunting and rather somber problems, and not exactly for light family viewing. Many in the audience clearly sympathized with the issues being played out on stage, and had either experienced something of the same themselves or at least knew someone who had”.
