GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS
by David Mamet

A Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece!

The American Dream has never seemed so dangerous as in David Mamet's scathing dramatic comedy about four small-time real estate agents making questionable business deals in Chicago. Money, egos, and careers are all on the line.  Threats, lies, bribery and intimidation are the name of the game. From by the WATCH Award-winning director of our acclaimed production of Three Tall Women, don’t miss this modern masterpiece about capitalism at its darkest and funniest.

Directed by Rosemary Hartman  (More Info - Audition Info)

A heartwarming story of love and self-discovery!

Slowly he begins to develop an exceptional new capacity for thoughts and emotions, making his life both beautiful and painful. However, when he discovers that his newfound intelligence may be temporary, Charlie begins to understand why ignorance might actually be bliss.  WATCH Award-winning director, Gloria DuGan (Wit, Doubt, Blood Brothers), returns to direct this heart-warming, beautiful story.
