Global Guffaws
Comedy extravaganza
celebrates Earth and the
funniest people on it.
Curt Schleier
Special to the Jewish News
Directed by Yolanda Fleischer
Can a middle-aged, middle-class woman survive and live on $7 an hour? Maybe. But one $7-an-hour
job won't pay the rent. Joan Holden's stage adaptation is a focused comic epic shadowed with
tragedy. This play shows us the life that is led by one third of working Americans.
