In a more laid - back setting at Soldiers ' Theatre on Caserma Ederle in Vicenza , Italy , around 30 community members , including three service members , came together for a production of "Working: A Musical . " Sgt . Caila Henry , a radiology technician , stepped out of her comfort zone to join the cast after making a New Year ' s resolution to try something new . She enjoyed seeing everything come together during the almost three months of rehearsals and making the audience laugh . The group will be heading to Wiesbaden , Germany , for the IMCOM - Europe Tournament of Festival of Plays competition , where they will perform for the TOPPER award ceremony . Lt . Col . Leah Sanchez , the U . S . Army Garrison Italy Director of Emergency Services , will be performing a song from "WORKING" at the event . This marks Sanchez ' s second musical after her role as a nun in "Sister Act" in 2023 . She ' s gonna perform a song from "WORKING" with LaQuita Deans and Courtney Shanahan at this year ' s IMCOM - Europe Tournament of Festival of Plays competition , also known as the TOPPERs . It ' s gonna be held in Wiesbaden , Germany , in late April . According to her , this show is totally different from "Sister Act" because it requires a different skill set . Sanchez decided to try something she wasn ' t comfortable with before auditioning for her first show at Soldiers ' Theatre . She wanted to push herself and try something different , and acting and singing seemed like a lot of fun , even though it was outside her comfort zone . She didn ' t even realize how much she was missing it until now . Another service member in the musical is Sgt . First Class Joshua McDonald from the 1st Battalion , 1/503rd , 173rd Airborne Brigade . He , along with the other volunteers , emphasizes the importance of this experience . He thinks it ' s great to have a theater like this in the community and encourages others to participate , whether it ' s acting , assisting backstage , or working on audio . He still has another year here and hopes to do at least one more show .
