"Known as one of the most significant and moving
American classics, Waiting For Lefty transplants
its audience into the lives of the working class
during the Great Depression. Imaginative, passionate and poetic episodes follow to tell a story
of New York City cab drivers on the verge of a
strike. But where is their fearless leader, Lefty?
This immersive theatre experience is one you
will not want to miss!"
The Los Angeles Times calls Waiting for Lefty
"undeniably relevant" and the New York Times
hails it as "fiercely dramatic."

From the writer of House of Cards comes an
exciting political thriller about the race for the
White House. "Beau Willimon's juicy and timely
drama is a potent reminder that, like Hollywood,
politics is a high-stakes game where one wrong
liaison can finish you off." (New York Daily News)

“This faithful one-hour adaptation of the Dr. Seuss’
original book will wow kids and adults alike. Sally
and Sam sit at home watching the rain when the
zany Cat In The Hat shows up. Rhyming and rousing, this Cat and his friends (Thing 1 and Thing 2)
turn a lazy day into one of adventure and fun. The
kids and their cautious fish watch as their house is
filled with life and surprises, and they all learn a few
things along the way!”
“What would you do, if your mother asked YOU?”
For ages 3 and up
