WAITING FOR LEFTY • 8/22 – 9/8/2024

In a series of vignettes returning to a high-tempered union meeting, this Great Depression-era play explores the social repercussions of economic hardship. From workplace struggles to the stress placed on romantic relationships, this revival casts a harsh light on the realities of living under Capitalism.

The thrillingly real characters in Lefty  struggle against villains we all know: the cost of living, corporate malpractice, institutional racism, antisemitism, and war profiteering.

"This is really a play about self-determination.  It is about people who are sick of waiting for hapless leaders to  better their conditions and instead take it upon themselves to change  the world for the better. In a moment of unprecedented insurgency of the  American labor movement and activists across this country, it feels  like the right time to do such a play," says Ben Natan, founder of Small  Boat Productions and co-executive producer on Lefty.
