(It's Been 76 Years And We're) Still Waiting for Lefty

STILL WAITING FOR LEFTY pulls back the curtain on some of toughest ethical questions and social concerns that have been pulled to the forefront in these incredibly trying times. The writing tackles these things from the micro, versus the macro, inviting us into intimate, personal conversations that demand you to examine your own point of view - and what you are willing to stand for. Beautifully written and beautifully executed by the team at Theatre Unleashed.... full review

A smartly-written quartet of contemporary vignettes about sticking to your guns in times of conflict.

Problem is, Lefty isn't coming. In fact, there probably isn't anyone named Lefty. So while Tik Tok and Instagram offer quick and fun entertainment, often addressing problems to be fixed, how will anything really get done if we continually wait for som... full review
