This workshop production of Waiting for Lefty explores Clifford Odets’ classic story of unions, class, hope, and perseverance through music, motion, and poetry. Written at the height of the Great Depression, this vigorous, confrontational work, based on a 1934 strike of unionized New York cab drivers, is re-examined by guest director Gina Belafonte and the cast in a visual and aural exploration of the period and its story
