Awake and Sing at Elmwood Playhouse

Realized as one of our major playwrights and Jewish voices in American theatre, Clifford Odets’ Awake and Sing portrays the Berger family, an impoverished Jewish family pursuing the American dream in the Bronx. Set in the politically charged depression era 1933, the Berger parents scheme to manipulate their children's relationships to their own visions of a better future, as their children question, struggle, and strive for dreams of their own. Winner of multiple Drama Desk and Tony Awards.
