“AWAKE AND SING!”

Funny and heartbreaking, this story by Clifford Odets of a lower-middle class, three-generation Jewish family living in a Bronx apartment during the Great Depression debuted in 1935 and still resonates 80 years later. As the children strive to achieve their own dreams, the parents scheme to manipulate their children’s relationships. Director Elina de Santos and lead actress Marilyn Fox return to the stage to tell the story of hope and struggle for its 20th-anniversary revival of the Odyssey Theatre production that ran for nine months in 1994-95. 8 p.m. $15-$34. Odyssey Theatre, 2055 S. Sepulveda Blvd., Los Angeles. (310) 477-2055. ” target=”_blank”> rubicontheatre.org.

“JUDGMENT AT NUREMBERG”

L.A. Theatre Works performs the story Abby Mann originally wrote for the acclaimed television show “Playhouse 90” in 1959, which later became the movie “Judgment at Nuremberg,” nominated for 11 Academy awards. Fifty years later, it opened on Broadway and now it comes to Westwood for a special engagement with a star-studded cast that includes Harry Hamlin, Alan Mandell and James Morrison. “Judgment at Nuremberg” follows a United States-led war crimes court as it weighs the fate of German judges who made their decisions based on existing laws, no matter how horrendous they may have been. It is an investigation of the ethics of personal responsibility versus public duty. 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. $15-$50. James Bridges Theater at UCLA, 235 Charles E. Young Drive, Los Angeles. (310) 827-0889.
