AMERICAN DEAL

October 30 - November 22

A world premiere by Tom Naples & Jon Elston - Directed by Kyle LoConti

A crippled economy. A desperate nation. A new President. Is it 2009... or 1933? A very different offering from RLTP’s award-winning Resident Playwright, Jon Elston, author of last season’s hit, triangles: the elliptical, and historian and musician Tom Naples: a timely story of hope and of American resilience told through music, images, and testimony.

By A.R. Gurney - Directed by Scott Behrend

He kept tabs on you for eight years; now it’s your turn to find out what a recently dethroned, highly controversial U.S. President does after he’s been escorted from the Oval Office. Fresh from its NYC premiere: a wicked comedy of art, commerce, and politics from one of Buffalo’s favorite sons. A Light Lunch is the first installment of RLTP’s three-year A.R. Gurney retrospective. You may think you know Gurney, but you’ve never seen Gurney like this!
