“Waiting for Lefty” comes to Theatre West

As part of its “Chestnuts” series of American drama revivals, Theatre West fittingly chose Labor Day weekend to open its new production of “Waiting for Lefty,” Clifford Odets’ classic 1935 drama about the passions and conflicts unleashed as New York cab drivers plan a labor strike. Odets based the story on an actual strike by cabbies the previous year.

The run extends from opening night on Sept. 3 through October 10, with Friday and Saturday evening performances at 8 pm and Sunday matinees at 2 pm.

Theatre West is located at 3333 Cahuenga Blvd West, between Barham and Lankershim, just down the block from Universal Studios. Park free across the street at the Credit Union – or use the Metro Trip Planner and take the Red Line subway to the Universal City Station.
