Performance of American Buffalo 8:00 PM to 10:15 PM
Post-show drinks at Cafe Un Deux Trois 10:20 PM to 12:00 AM
CAAL members saw the revival of David Mamet's American Buffalo, starring John Leguizamo, Cedric the Entertainer, and Haley Joel Osment. After the performance, they enjoyed drinks at nearby Cafe Un Deux Trois with fellow alumni and a special guest, and heard from Gregory Mosher who directed and produced the premieres of twenty-three of David Mamet’s plays, beginning with American Buffalo in 1975.
David Mamet's comedic masterpiece was directed by two-time Tony Award winner Robert Fall (Long Day's Journey into Night). Powered by Mamet's brilliant, rapid-fire dialogue, it's the story of three desperate men, one rare coin and a plan to rip it off. The heist is on in the funny and heartbreaking, banter-fueled portrait of small-time criminals.
