Human Resources - the Musical
by Mallory Schlossberg

Dec. 04 - Dec. 19, 2020
Fridays-Saturdays

 

It's post-coronavirus New York City. Emily Silverberg is down on her luck after she loses her job at a health startup. After all, she's $90,000 in debt from grad school. Worse, has been struggling to conceive, and her job was supposed to cover IVF. Mysteriously, she receives a message from Greener Pastures - the biggest health food empire in the world.

Greener Pastures is a little different, after all. They call each other part of a "family." Pregnant women seem to never come back after long maternity leaves. And they proudly state their mission is to feed the Earth. Let's just say they take that mission very seriously...

Human Resources is a campy, over-the-top musical with elements of B-horror comedy that asks us what we'd be willing to give up for purpose and a place, while simultaneously tearing down the systems that prevent us from truly succeeding. 

****

Human Resources features a cast and crew of nearly 30 and an original book and lyrics by Mallory Schlossberg, music by Schlossberg and Alexandra Smith, and arrangements and scoring by Smith.

Virtual shows December 4, 5, 11, 12, 18, and 19 -- at 7:00 CST

** TWO PERFORMANCES ADDED! 12/18 and 12/19!**

This show is pay-what-you-can, but we encourage you to support the artists involved. All ticket sales will go directly to the cast and crew. 

HOW DIGITAL TICKETING WORKS: YOU WILL RECEIVE A LINK TO A LIVESTREAM ROUGHLY 48 HOURS BEFORE THE PERFORMANCE. Make sure you opt in to receive emails from Eventbrite in order to get your livestream link.

If you purchase a ticket within the 48 hour window, you will receive a link 10 minutes before the show. That means if you purchase tickets too close to or after that window, you will not be able to receive that evening's link (though we'll gladly provide you with another night's).

You will also receive a digital playbill (along with the livestream link again!) about one hour before the show. 

 

This show contains profanity and simulated violence. It would probably get an R rating.

 

IMPORTANT: TICKET SALES FOR EACH NIGHT END ABOUT 15 MINUTES BEFORE THE SHOW. DO NOT PURCHASE TICKETS AFTER 6:45 CT/7:45 ET ON THE NIGHT OF THE PERFORMANCE; YOU WILL NOT GET A LIVESTREAM LINK. THE FINAL LIVESTREAM LINK GOES OUT 10 MINUTES BEFORE THE SHOW. BE SURE TO OPT IN TO EVENTBRITE EMAILS TO RECEIVE THESE LINKS.

Shows will be recorded and the cast’s favorite will air in the weekends to follow.
