Clifford Odets’ Never-Produced 910 Eden Street to Be Performed at NYPL

Scenes from 910 Eden Street, a never-produced, 75-year-old play by Clifford Odets, will be performed when acting coach Eric Morris leads a free lecture/demonstration of his acting system at 3pm on Friday, November 3 at the Bruno Walter Auditorium of the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts (40 Lincoln Center Plaza). Admission is free and open to the public.

The play excerpts will be performed by Carlina Ferrari and Doron Toister and directed by Anthony Vincent Bova. The 1931 work focuses on the residents of a tenement complex in Philadelphia as they desperately try to hold on to the last vestiges of their lives and passions while the world crumbles around and within them. Odets’ other plays include Awake and Sing!, which received a Tony Award-winning revival last season, and Rocket to the Moon, which is currently being given a full production at New Haven’s Long Wharf Theatre.

Morris is the Hollywood-based author of the textbooks No Acting Please, Being & Doing, Irreverent Acting, Acting from the Ultimate Consciousness and Acting, Imaging and the Unconscious.
