Tix for "Lefty" selling fast

Only 20 seats remain for Sunday's 2PM show as of 2PM Friday. Tonight and tomorrow night at 8PM also selling very quickly. Go to www.southcamdentheatre.org for tix. Come see why this play is so important as workers are protesting in two state capitals in the US right now. Join us in our "Wait for Lefty".

"Lefty" is alive in today's protests

"Waiting For Lefty" shows us a union meeting in 1935 where workers are debating whether the time is finally right to strike when greedy employers take advantage of a bad economy to make the worker's lives even more desperate. They hear conflicting stories from their corrupt union bosses [not to strike] and their own families [the need to strike] , who show that need, only too sadly in a world where the "haves" have so much. Looking at today's news of strikes in Wisconsin and Ohio only prove that "Lefty's" time has not passed into history but has never been more alive than right now. This play was produced in NY and LA last year...only 2 productions across the US. You can see the 3rd..and in Waterfront South. You can still go to www.southcamdentheatre.org and order tix for the final 3 shows starting tonight. Do not miss it.

3 More chances to "Wait For Lefty"

3 shows remain for SCTC's "Waiting For Lefty". Last Sun, we had to turn people away the audience was so large. Don't let that happen to you! Go to http://www.southcamdentheatre.org/ and reserve today. Tix have been selling briskly all week as the word is out about this play. This is a special production that ties Odets' 1935 play to NJ and the US of today. Don't have to say you missed it! See you at Waterfront South Theatre.

The passing of a great friend and fine actor

I am so sad to report the passing of a dear friend to me and SCTC, Gene Luyster, who died Thursday evening. Gene played "Felix" in my play "Indoor Picnic" as well as the elderly man in my one act "Waiting Tables" during "Youth In America". Running a theatre can be chaotic at times and, anytime I felt some heat, when Gene was in a show he would just smile, laugh, and say "isn't running a theatre beautiful?" Gene left a huge mark on this company professionally and, more important, personally on everyone's heart at SCTC. We all send our sincere condolences to his wife Jane and family and many, many, many, MANY friends who are sad today. Felix.... "We'll leave the porchlight on" for you.

Don't be "Lefty'd" out! Six Shows Remain

We are so grateful for the audience and critical response to "Waiting For Lefty". Tix have been selling briskly and I wanted to remind you to reserve your seats now for the last 6 shows. Some shows are tighter than others so pick your show, go to http://www.southcamdentheatre.org/ and reserve your seats.

The "Wait" is almost over

""Waiting For Lefty" opens this Friday night. Please join our incredible cast as we go back to the 1930's and see how far we, as a country, have NOT come. Join us as we bring this exciting and important play into present day New Jersey and see how prophetic Clifford Odets' work is.
