AMERICAN BUFFALO Comes To TheatreWorks 9/11-10/18

Exploding onto the cultural landscape, the previously unknown playwright David Mamet established his place as a seismic force in theater with American Buffalo. TheaterWorks presents this raw, urgent and hilarious classic in an all-new production featuring audience favorite Andrew Benator (Lobby Hero, Proof, The SantaLand Diaries), John Ahlin (The Lonesome West and The Seafarer) and newcomer Zachary Spicer. In American Buffalo, three small-time hustlers conspire to steal a coin collector's priceless buffalo-head nickel. The question is... can they trust one another enough to get their piece of the American dream?
