American Buffalo Begins December 3

AMERICAN BUFFALO


Written by David Mamet
Directed by ensemble member Amy Morton

Featuring ensemble members Francis Guinan and Tracy Letts.

In a cluttered, run-down Chicago junk shop, three small-time crooks plot to steal a valuable buffalo nickel. As the heist unravels, the men's frustration and paranoia intensify. Ensemble member Amy Morton directs this groundbreaking American play that weaves humor and menace throughout an emotionally charged struggle for identity and dominance.
