Hello and Welcome!

Welcome to Nickel and Dimed (The Play)'s blog. This blog will chronicle the Albany Civic Theater's production of "Nickel and Dimed" by Joan Holden. This play is based on the book of the same name by Barbara Ehrenreich. The title says it all: "Nickel and Dimed- On (Not) Getting By in America."

The play follows our main character Barbara as she sets out to find if she can live on minimum wage. We watch as she tries waitressing, housecleaning, working retail and anything else she can do to just to survive. This play is less about her story and more about the stories of all those she represents who are just trying to get by in America.

Check back in often for more updates and make sure to audition April 28, 29 and 30 at Albany Civic Theater .
