Clifford Odets’ Waiting for Lefty will run through November 22, 2026 at CSC’s Lynn F. Angelson  Theater (136 East 13th Street). Opening night is set for November 2. 

One room. One choice. One movement. Exploited, exhausted, and pushed to the edge, the taxi drivers of  Depression-era New York City gather to make a choice that will change their lives forever. But as they wait for  their leader, the tension reaches a fever pitch. Marking the directing debut of acclaimed actor Steven Pasquale,  this innovative production uses music and movement to breathe fresh life into Clifford Odets' 1935 masterpiece,  transforming the theater into a high-stakes union hall. Both then and now, speaking truth to power can come at  a deadly cost. Don't miss this visceral collision of classic social protest and contemporary sound. The clock is  ticking - are you with us? 

The production marks Pasquale's directorial debut, with Susan Misner ("Fosse/Verdon") choreographing.
