The reviews are in… The verdict? Our production of David Mamet is a hit with all audiences. PLUS: What we have in store next!

Watch our audiences express their thoughts after experiencing our production:

“This production of Oleanna is both powerful and unsettling, and the direction perfectly captures the tension and ambiguity at the heart of the play. It’s the kind of theatre that lingers with you long after the curtain falls.”

Up next:

Exact Resemblance returns to Studio 16 with a production :

Zoo Story 
by Edward Albee
with
Jacob Machin and Michael Briganti.

Zoo Story is a gripping and provocative exploration of loneliness, disconnection, and the widening gap between social classes. Set in Central Park, the play follows a chance encounter between two strangers: Peter, a comfortable publishing executive, and Jerry, an isolated, struggling outsider. As their conversation spirals from polite small talk to raw confrontation, Zoo Story exposes the desperate hunger for connection and the brutal reality of how society’s invisible divides can lead to violence. In a city where lives can collide but rarely connect, Albee’s masterpiece feels as urgent as ever.

The production will run from October 13-26. Mark your calendars and stay subscribed to hear details as we finalize them. 

Oleanna is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing, LLC, servicing the Dramatists Play Service collection (www.dramatists.com)
