I watched two run-throughs on Saturday and this gets my excited approval.

Also playin are Escape Hatch (sexiest improv troupe '05) and Texas Giant (most fattening cake recipe '98)!

3 solid shows.
Winners Only.

For someone unfamiliar with Mamet, are their any resources you can point one to that would familiarize them quickly so they might enjoy the show even more?

Watch Glengarry Glen Ross! Or read American Buffalo. And watch State and Main if you get the chance!

There was also a great movie version of Buffalo done with Dennis Franz and Dustin Hoffman if time is a factor.

I looove Glengarry, likewise State and Main, but the Buffalo film left me a little cold. I think the director could have made it funnier, and that would've been good.

I've said before (in several different locations and several different people) but you guys did awesome last night. The dialogue was spot on.

Great show last night. Texas Giant and Escape Hatch were awesome, too.

Dialog was pretty spot-on... made me really want to see the show.

Really enjoyed the interview until Asaf called De Palma a hack... dude needs to go back to Cool School.
