[NEohioPAL] Ensemble Theatre's "Waiting for Lefty" similar to but better than "The Avengers"

[Ensemble Theatre]

Don't miss this Modern American Classic!

Ohio Ballot Issue 2.
The 99% - Occupy Movement.
Clifford Odets American Master.

Relevant.
Current.
Classic.

"In the annals of plays that start fast and burn white-hot for their
duration, it's hard to top "Waiting for Lefty" by Clifford Odets... the
Ensemble production enlivens this 75-year-old agitprop* *tract and makes it
seem as current as last night's political debate on MSNBC -- with passion
replacing pundits and posturing."

                                   -Christine Howey, Special to the Plain
Dealer

Superheroes of the 30's? Yes.

Ensemble Theatre's "Waiting for Lefty" brings the heroicism of the average
every-day man and woman to the stage in this hour long non-stop high energy
American Classic. Replacing superpowers with, love, determination and the
will to organize Clifford Odets paints vignettes of Americans during the
Great Depression that still haunt our collective imagination. The message is
hope in hard times, humanity through organizing. Sound familiar?

 A beautiful lighting design by Joe Mitchell and stunning video projections
by Eric Roediger blend to create a modern impressionistic visual feast. The
excellent Ensemble Cast including: Stephen Vasse-Hansell, Allen Branstein,
Skip Corris*, Eric Roediger*, William Goff, Katie Wilkinson, Katie Atkinson,
Katie Nabors, James Rankin, Chris Bizub, Layla Schwartz, Tyler Whidden,
David Hundertmark, and Ryan Lucas shine onstage in this tight-knit
Ensemble.

Odets reminds us that we are all "Captain America" when we stand up for a
better life for ourselves and our families. Being human is what binds us and
makes us heroes. Don't miss "Waiting for Lefty" in our new space in the
