South Camden Theatre Company Presents WAITING FOR LEFTY, 2/4-20

The South Camden Theatre Company, a nonprofit professional theatre organization located in Camden, New Jersey continues its sixth season with a three-week production of Waiting for Lefty written by Clifford Odets and directed by Joseph M. Paprzycki.

Producing Artistic Director Joseph M. Paprzycki states, "Waiting for Lefty, Clifford Odets's first produced play, is set during the 1930's as taxi drivers contemplate a strike against their employers.  The play is broken in vignettes showing what life was life during the Great Depression that eerily mirror our current economic landscape.  I selected this play due to its continued relevance to our American society and the fit to our season's theme 'The Past in the Present is Our Future.' Our production will take the play from the 1930's and bring it all the way to 2011. It is a play that expresses the anger and frustration of working people towards their employers and their situations in their daily lives."

Performances will be held Friday and Saturday evenings at 8 p.m. and Sunday afternoons at 2:00 p.m.  February 4 - February 20 at the Waterfront South Theatre located at 400 Jasper Street in Camden, New Jersey. Tickets are available for purchase for $15 online at http://www.southcamdentheatre.org , by calling 1-866-811-4111 or at the door.
