Clifford Odets' Awake and Sing!
Tuesday, December 15, 2026 · 7:00 PM · Samuel J. Friedman Theatre, Manhattan
The Read
Odets' first full-length and the one that made the Group Theatre's reputation. Three generations in a Bronx apartment with no money and no exit. The language is doing something nobody had done on an American stage.
The Venue
Samuel J. Friedman Theatre
261 W 47th St
The Friedman is Manhattan Theatre Club's 650-seat Broadway home, rebuilt after a fire left the former Biltmore vacant for years.

After
Russian SamovarInfused vodkas by the carafe with a piano going late. Brodsky and Baryshnikov backed it in 1986 and the late crowd still skews people who just finished working.
