The plight of striking taxi drivers is the subject of Franklin College Theatre Department’s latest presentation, which opens April 29 at the Johnson Center For Fine Arts.
College thespians will present Clifford Odets’ “Waiting for Lefty” at 8 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday and at 2 p.m. Sunday. All performances will be in the Théâtre Margot in the Johnson Center, at Branigin Boulevard and Grizzly Drive.
The plot captures the culture and passion of the working class while telling the story with vibrant language that depicts the energy of urban America, according to a statement from the college.
