"WHAT A
WAY TO MAKE A LIVING
|
A
3-Act Play and Workshop
by Barry Oshry
Directed by Sue Hennessy
Performed by The Seeing Systems Players
Workshop Facilitated by Marcia Hyatt
You'll laugh. You'll cry. "What A Way To Make A Living" is a light-hearted look at the serious issues all of us who work in organizations face as we struggle to create partnership up, down, and across organizational lines. No one who has worked in an organization can escape seeing oneself and others in this romp as a demoralized work force, a frazzled middle management group, and a burdened top executive team struggle to find partnership with one another. This is no dull instructional skit. The talented cast put on a hard-hitting performance that is both entertaining and thought-provoking. The play is one hour long.
An interactive workshop follows the production in which audience members connect the play to their own organizational experiences and to the initiatives their organization is undertaking. (We work with you to tailor the workshop activities to your current initiatives.) The workshop is a two-hour activity.
Audience members will come away:
having a good laugh (often at themselves) | |
with a deeper understanding of and empathy for the issues people at all levels of the organization face | |
with a clearer picture of how easily partnerships break down and to how to prevent that from happening | |
with deeper insight into how the potential for power exists throughout the organization | |
with concrete strategies for creating and sustaining satisfying and productive partnerships up, down and across organizational lines |
