ON THE MAIN STAGE NEXT!

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 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.

Produced by Evan Hoffmann
Directed by Rosemary Hartman
