Documentary play explores relationship between people and their jobs

Why is it that so often when we meet someone for the first time we ask, “What do you do?” Do our jobs really define us? What more can we learn about someone when we look beyond how they earn a paycheck?

These questions and more are the inspiration documentary play written and performed by two Spencerport natives. Kate Marple and Melissa Bergstrom’s “Big Work” examines our modern day relationship to our jobs and the ripple effect this has on our lives.

Kate and Melissa are co-founders of Perpetual Visitors Theater Company in Boston.
