“Ups A Daisy” In his book, “Working” Studs Terkel wrote “Work is about a search for daily meaning as well as daily bread, for recognition as well as cash, for astonishment rather than torpor; in short, for a sort of life rather than a Monday through Friday sort of dying.”
Terkel never saw “Ups A Daisy” starring Bill Mesnik, as a New York City Everyman just trying to get to work and make a difference. Mesnik’s tour de force is mesmerizing and hilarious.
