SHADOWLAND THEATRE, ELLENVILLE, NY

American Buffalo, by David Mamet, plays at the Shadowland Theatre from September 11-September 27, 2009. Performances are Thursday-Saturday at 8pm, Sunday at 2pm.

Here is the synopsis of the show:
They had a plan. Was it worth a nickel? Set in a seedy pawnshop, long-repressed feelings of bitterness and betrayal explode when three small time, inner-city losers plot the robbery of a valuable coin. Snatching this unique coin could be their ticket to the American Dream but to succeed requires skills, trust and action. Will they have what it takes to make their way into a world beyond the fringes of capitalism?

Here are the group rates:
For Thursday nights, for groups of 12 or more, the price is $18 per ticket
For Friday, Saturday evenings and Sunday matinees:
For groups of 12 or more, the ticket price is $21 dollars
For groups of 25 or more the ticket price is $19 dollars

You can call Alyssa at 845-647-5511 for more information.
