THE NEW (IMPROVISED) DAVID MAMET PLAY Comes to New Repertory Theatre

New Repertory Theatre presents The New (Improvised) David Mamet Play, Monday, October 23 at 7:30pm in the MainStage Theater at the Mosesian Center for the Arts, 321 Arsenal Street, Watertown, MA. Tickets are $15 and may be purchased by calling the New Rep Box Office at 617-923-8487 or visiting newrep.org.

THE NEW (IMPROVISED) David Mamet PLAY is a hilarious spoof of a modern classic featuring comedic improvisers Hunter Nelson and Terry Withers. While Nelson and Withers insist David Mamet has retained them to workshop his newest, ever changing script, we're not so sure. Join us for the improvised madness these two pros deliver, always in a pitch perfect tone matching Mr. Mamet's most famous works.

Nelson and Withers have worked with some of the most notable improv comedy institutions in the country, including the UCB Theatre, Magnet Theatre, Baltimore Improv Group, and Reckless Theatre. Their 60-minute performance includes lots of audience participation and even more laughs!
