Spectators Will Take Parts in HDC's 'Lefty'

Audience participation will be an integral part of HDC's production of Odets' "Waiting for Lefty" when the show enters Sanders Theater next week, according to Martin Schwartz 2G, Publicity Director for the dramatists.

Setting for the show is a labor union meeting in which the stage will be speakers platform and the spectators will represent the attending union members. Odets' stage directions call for audience participation and reaction, which are vital to the mood of the play.

To assure authenticity in creating the atmosphere, it is possible that members of the east may attend some actual union meetings so as to observe first hand how labor affairs are conducted, Shwartz added.
