A young woman receives an odd request from an elderly couple: they want her to impersonate their deceased acquaintance Veronica, who she bears a striking resemblance to, in order to comfort Veronica's confused and dying older sister. What begins as sincere and harmless slowly bleeds malignancy as the young woman starts to question her identity and the truth behind this family's disturbing past. From Ira Levin, the genius behind Rosemary's Baby, this terrifying psychological thriller leaves audiences trapped in a nightmare where reality fractures and identity is a mirage.

Through a series of vignettes, "Working" examines the frustration, hopes, and motivations of everyday workers including stories from the Western Springs community.

With songs from Stephen Schwartz, Lin Manual-Miranda, and James Taylor, this ensemble driven piece is a tribute to the unsung people who keep our communities functioning.

The Theatre of Western Springs - Amazing theatre, close to home!
Congratulations Studio Spring 2026 graduates!
TWS Studio is a three-week theatre class that covers acting, tech, and the processes for volunteering and performing at TWS.
Actors will start with basic performing concepts such as breathwork, vocal training, and blocking, then dive deep into character work. You will learn how to make strong character choices and apply those skills to a monologue and scene which will be performed in a showcase on the last session. Performers also have the option to sing a solo at the showcase and will rehearse and develop it with our music director throughout the course.
You will also meet experienced members of our technical crews to learn more about the many different areas of production both behind the scenes and front of house. Participants can sign up for any crews they may be interested in joining for future productions. Anyone NOT interested in acting can still take Studio! You will have a slightly different schedule and will work backstage during the final showcase.
COST
The Studio class cost includes a TWS 6-play subscription for next season. Upon completion of the class, you will be eligible to be cast in TWS shows.
For more information, please call 708-246-4043 or email marketing@theatrewesternsprings.com.
Fall classes start in August. Come get in on the act!
