The small group of outsourced workers come up with an ingenious plan on how to save their jobs and get revenge on their boss and Ameriblaze.

"...Laura Shamas, tilting on its axis the recent trend of outsourcing American jobs to foreign countries, has concocted a plot for Re-Sourcing that's as original as it is loaded with comic possibilities.” - Jeff Favre, Backstage West

"...Shamas has a point to make about the outsourcing of US jobs to other countries... There are funny moments..." - F Kathleen Foley, Los Angeles Times.

Main Street Players began in 1985 in Littleton's historic Town Hall Arts Center with a production of "Our Town" as part of a celebration of the town's 125 birthday. Over the next quarter century the Main Street Players prided itself on producing the finest quality amateur theatre in the area, strong community involvement, and a rich experience for all involved in its productions. Competition at the State, Regional and National levels, through MSP's continued involvement with Colorado Community Theatre Coalition, ultimately lead to international performances with "Quilters" in 1993 in Monaco, and 1999, "Lovers" in Heidelberg, Germany and recently representing the region at the National AACT Fest in Tacoma, Washington with a production of "Eleemosynary". Today, MSP continues to enjoy great respect in the community and attracts actors, directors and production staff from all over Denver.
