SpeciAl Priced preview performances are slated for February 17th & 18th (8PM) and the production will play through April 4th.A skewed vision of the American dream is explored in David Mamet's "American Buffalo" where the arenas of friendship and business clash when three small time crooks, who fancy themselves businessmen pursuing legitimate free enterprise, are merely pawns caught up in their own game of dead-end, empty pipe dreams.Producing Artistic Director William Hayes will direct the production featuring Dennis Creaghan and Matt Mueller.Palm Beach Dramaworks is a non-profit, professional theatre and is a member of the Theatre Communications Group, the South Florida Theatre League, Southeastern Theatre Conference, Florida Professional Theatres Association, Florida Theatre Conference, and the Palm Beach County Cultural Council.
