Today we are continuing the 2012 Tony Awards Clip Countdown with another pairing sure to instigate ample amounts of approbation and opprobrium - now, just as it did twenty-five years ago - the famous Tony Awards battle of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA versus INTO THE WOODS.

Banjo Dan and the Mid-nite Plow Boys will play at Vermont's Middlebury Town Hall Theater tonight, May 18.

To put on a full-length play with just three characters - two males who hardly ever leave the stage and one female who appears periodically - takes courage.

For the sixth show in its 2011-2012 Season, Subversive Theatre teams up with Trajicom Productions to present David Mamet's ever-incendiary play SPEED THE PLOW. Directed by Christopher Standart, the cast includes Timothy Patrick Finnegan, Kevin Craig and Andrea Andolina. The show runs tonight through May 13.

David Mamet is a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, who has earned Tony nominations for Glengarry Glen Ross (1984) and Speed-the-Plow (1988). As a screenwriter, he received Oscar nominations for The Verdict (1982) and Wag the Dog (1997). Mamet's books include The Old Religion (1997), a novel about the lynching of Leo Frank.

Many say that David Mamet's Speed the Plow is a play about greed, power and sex in Hollywood, but I think it is more a study of seduction, desperation and morality.
