Mundelein Theatre Streaming Spring Musical - Working
Studs Terkel is a Chicago legend. He was a Pulitzer Prize winning author, historian, actor and broadcaster. He also had an impact on the theatrical stage when his 1974 nonfiction book of interviews with American workers, Working, was adapted into a Broadway musical. This show will be the spring musical presented by Mundelein Theatre. The show will be available for streaming on May 13, 14 and 15 at 7 pm. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for students (plus fees). A family viewing package is also available. Tickets can be purchased by going to www.mundeleintheatre.org.
Working was adapted into a musical in 1978 by Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Pippin, Godspell) and Nina Faso. The show has been updated several times over the years, and includes music by Schwartz, James Taylor, Lin-Manuel Miranda and others. The show paints a vivid portrait of the men and women who the world so often takes for granted: the schoolteacher, the phone operator, the waitress, the millworker, the mason and the housewife, just to name a few.
This Mundelein Theatre production was filmed on an outdoor set that was constructed in a courtyard at the school. “This entire year has been about trying new things and figuring out how to keep producing shows,” said Jonathan Meier, the show’s director. “The format of Working sets up perfectly for the limitations that we had to work under,” continued Meier. “It is also a wonderful piece of theatre, with a great message and a host of relatable characters. We had a great time filming, though we did have the challenges of rain, wind and sun, not to mention airplanes flying overhead and the occasional family of noisy birds swooping down to see what we were doing.”
The ensemble is led by seniors Bella Buono, Matthew Callas, Lucas Fuller, Joslyn Gange, Mira Guiritan, Kayla Kirton, Amari Liebe, Mary McMurray, Brenda Olayo, Megan Saunders and Zoe Trahan. Rounding out the cast are Stephanie Aquino, Tori Collins, Grace DiMilio, Madeline Demuth, Max Dunlap, Taylor Gates, Will Gonzalez, Gianna Horcher, Kalib Keblys, Abbey McFarland, Juliana Myrant, Katie Myrant, Chris Nacion, Leandro Ocampo, Rey Palacios, Addison Salski, Grace Sciortino, Marissa St. Clair, Zoe Van Krey, Eli Walter and Kessler Young. The student leadership teams consists of Rosy Castro, Meghan Matthys, Christopher Moyer, Dean Hahn, Andy Lacroix, Hailey Lindenbaum, Sam Roberts and Marley Wilkins.

IHSA Sectionals at Palatine
Mundelein was second with a 150.80. The Mustangs will have to wait until the final sectional is completed Saturday evening to see if they will pick up one of the two at-large spots for the state finals.
"When things are all said and done, I think it will be good enough to make it," Mundelein coach Jesse Piland said. "We are going to be glued to the scores and watching what happens. But our guys competed out of their minds."
Mundelein was led by Holden Asbury, who was fifth in the all-around with 51.65. Kyle Massel was sixth with a 49.90 and Braden Kratz was seventh with a 49.25. Kratz, who is a freshman, won the rings with an 8.95.

Girls Sophomore Volleyball Wrap up
Coaches corner: From Coach Hennelly,This was a season unlike any other, and the sophomores proved that they are capable of overcoming adversity. No matter who they were playing on the other side of the court, and how many players from the team were able to come to the game, every single match, the players gave it a 100% effort. The season started out with a rough start; however, the end of the season tournament proved just how powerful of a team we truly were. In the end of the season conference tournament, the players had a 5-1 record, and even beat 2 teams they had previously lost to in the regular season (Lake Zurich and Zion-Benton). I am incredibly proud of this team and all they accomplished (even while several of them were doing 2 sports at the same time!!)
