If you spend time at all in the workplace, you’re going to get laid off, downsized, let go, out-sourced, axed, terminated, canceled, canned, dismissed…Fired! Odds are you might even get…Fired Again! Annabelle Gurwitch’s hugely popular book, Fired: Tales of the Canned, Canceled, Downsized and Dismissed has led to the production of a hit movie in addition to the audio play released by L.A. Theatre Works.

Recorded before a live audience at the Skirball Cultural Center, Los Angeles in May 2006.
