Classic Stage Company has found casting for its upcoming production of Clifford Odets‘ Waiting for Lefty, set to play the Off-Broadway company’s Lynn F. Angelson Theater October 15-November 22, opening November 2. Actor Steven Pasquale is directing, making his directorial debut with the staging.
That cast will include Tala Ashe (English), Raffi Barsoumian (Les Liaisons Dangereuses), Adam Chanler-Berat (Next to Normal), Greg Hildreth (Chicago), Doireann Mac Mahon (The Honey Trap), Zach McNally (West Side Story), Sahar Milani (Hound Dog), Conrad Ricamora (Oh, Mary!; Here Lies Love), Cameron Scoggins (The Hills of California), and Thom Sesma (Dead Outlaw).
Odets’ play, which premiered in 1935, centers on a group of exhausted Depression-era New York City taxi drivers gathering to make a life-changing choice. Pasquale’s production will transform CSC into a high-stakes union hall, newly featuring original music (by Yeller Tooth, aka Sahar Milani and Cameron Scoggins) and movement (by Susan Misner).
The production will also feature scenic design by Scott Adam Davis, costume design by Márion Talán de la Rosa, lighting design by Mextly Couzin, and sound design by Palmer Hefferan.
Tickets are currently available for Patron-level CSC members, with general sales to begin August 19. Visit ClassicStage.org.
