    Lefty tickets: Get 'em while they're hot!

    This week Waiting for Lefty tickets were made available to backers who pledged at the level that allowed them access to early-bird ticket sales. Immediately all three shows were sold out.

    Now, due to popular demand, two additional shows have been added. Tickets are available online at this link:

    You can also call Smart Tix at (212)868-444 to make a reservation.

    Thank you so much for making this possible. We couldn't have done it without your generous support.

    Thank you

    Dear Friend,

    We wanted to thank you again for your tremendous support of our first-ever Kickstarter campaign. Waiting for Lefty will be coming to New York from Los Angeles in just a few weeks thanks to your generosity.

    Amazon will be processing your pledges shortly and then we will be in touch with surveys to collect information needed to fulfill your reward level.

    After that the magic begins: Lefty begins brush-up rehearsals in Los Angeles on March 10 and moves to New York for a super-fast load-in and tech on March 20/21. Throughout the process we will be keeping a daily blog with notes and pics from the cast and team which we hope will make you feel like part of the creative process. Lefty runs from March 22-24 at the Stella Adler Studio in New York. We'll keep you posted every step of the way. You can also RSVP to the Facebook event page at www.tinyurl.com/labtheaterslefty

    Thank you again for making this happen. We couldn’t have done it without you.

    Sincerely,

    Tom Oppenheim
    Artistic Director

    Nina Capelli
    Director of Cultural Programming

    We did it!

    Thank you all for your support! We did it! We met our $10,000 goal, thanks to your enthusiasm and generosity. And as an added bonus, because the Studio is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization your donation is tax-deductible.

    We will still be raising additional funds that are needed for this project so please keep spreading the word about Lefty. We couldn't do it without you.

    Thank you,

    Tom and everyone at Adler/AOA
