Aurora Theater Co Adds Performance for AWAKE AND SING!, Now Running Thru 9/27

Due to popular demand, Aurora Theatre Company has added an additional performance of its 18th season opener, Clifford Odets' classic Depression-era drama Awake and Sing!, to the existing performance schedule - there will be an additional performance on Saturday, September 26 at 2pm. Awake and Sing! plays now through September 27 at the Aurora Theatre in Berkeley.

Written at the height of the Depression, this stirring family portrait depicts the too true-to-life economic hardships confronted by working-class families during the 1930s, documenting their dreams and disappointments, hopes, fears, and follies in the face of the American dream. Joy Carlin (Jack Goes Boating, Hysteria, The Price), who first directed this play for Berkeley Repertory Theatre 24 years ago, revisits this landmark drama for Aurora, featuring Charles Dean, Rod Gnapp, Ellen Ratner, and Ray Reinhardt, along with Victor Talmadge, Anthony Nemirovsky, Rebecca White, and Patrick Russell. Awake and Sing!
