Luther Burbank Center presents: Roustabout Theater’s Professional Ensemble Presents Awake and Sing!

“If you like theater, Awake & Sing! is what you go to the theater for!” (Philadelphia Inquirer)

A Broadway hit in 1935 and in its 2006 revival, “Awake and Sing!” reveals how one family awakens to hope in unexpected ways.

“An Odets play was awaited like news hot off the presses, as though through him we would know what to think of ourselves. For the very first time in America, Odets’s language itself marked a playwright as unique.” (Arthur Miller)

This American classic chronicles the lives of the Berger family pursuing the American dream in the Bronx. Set in the politically-charged 1930s, Odets’s masterpiece is in turns gritty, heartbreaking and often hilarious, capturing both the dreams and the recognizable struggles of an unforgettable American family.
