EWU Theatre Presents "Waiting for Lefty"
2024-11-01 19:30, 2024-11-02 19:30, 2024-11-03 14:00, 2024-11-04 19:30, 2024-11-05 17:00 | Theatre Building
WAITING FOR LEFTY is a series of varied episodes that blend into a powerful mosaic of the American working class. We begin in a hiring hall where a union leader (obviously in the pay of the bosses) is trying to convince a committee of workers (who are waiting for their leader, Lefty, to arrive) not to strike. Through flashback and vignette, we then visit a discouraged taxi driver in confrontation with his wife, who wants him to show some backbone and stand up to his employer; an employee promised a major promotion in exchange for spying on a fellow worker; a young cabbie and his would-be bride who lack the wherewithal to get married; and a senior doctor charged with dismissing a bright, promising intern.
