Jody Drake, longtime director of Sharlot Hall's Blue Rose Theater leads a talented cast that includes Marnie Uhl and Parker Anderson, in the production of Nickel and Dimed, based on the bestseller by Barbara Ehrenreich and presented by the Coalition for Compassion and Justice (CCJ).
Can a middle-aged, middle-class woman survive when she suddenly has to make beds all day in a hotel and live on $7 an hour? Maybe. But one $7-an-hour job won't pay the rent; she'll have to do back-to-back shifts as a chambermaid and a waitress. This isn't the first surprise for acclaimed author Barbara Ehrenreich, who set out to research low-wage life firsthand. She is prepared for hard work but not, at 55, for double shifts and nonstop aches and pains, for having to share tiny rooms and beg from food pantries, for failing to make ends meet and constantly having to swallow humiliation. Joan Holden's vivid, witty stage adaptation captures the epic humor and indelible characters who populate Ehrenreich's best-selling book.
Nickel and Dimed is being staged in the Prescott United Methodist Church's Esther Hall, where CCJ's Open Door provides individuals and families who are homeless or low income a place where basic needs are addressed.
