ITHACA, NY (04/24/2012)(readMedia)-- Renton resident Elizabeth Hake performed the roles of Babe Secoli, Sharon Atkins, Joe's Girl, Ensemble, and Millwork Dance Soloist in the Ithaca College theatrical production of "Working." Hake is a senior musical theatre major.

Hake's previous Ithaca College main-stage credits include Dancer in "Illuminated Bodies," Hunyak/Velma Understudy in "Chicago," Woman 2 in a staged reading of "A Thousand Years," Storyteller in "Children of Eden," and Nurse in "Hello Again." Additional credits include Philia in "A Funny Thing Happened....," Leonide in "Triumph of Love," Amber in "Hairspray" with the Millbrook Playhouse in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania, as well as Cinderella in "Into the Woods" with At the Ridge Theatre in Renton.

Stephen Schwartz brings journalist Studs Terkel's book to the stage with the help of a host of songwriters, including James Taylor. "Working" takes us to steel mills and cubicles and sings the trials, tribulations, tedium and joy of the American worker.

"I would like to thank the theatre arts faculty for giving me this wonderful opportunity, the whole production team for making this show 'work,' and my parents for their endless support across the country," said Hake.
