Pulitzer plays Little Rock: GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS

GGR PrecipiceDavid Mamet’s scalding comedy Glengarry Glen Ross focuses on small-time, cutthroat real estate salesmen trying to grind out a living by pushing plots of land on reluctant buyers, in a never-ending scramble for their share of the American dream.

With cutting language and well-developed characters, Glengarry Glen Ross has been popular among theatres since it debuted.  In January 2018, Precipice Theatre brought this play back to the Little Rock stage.

Directed by Heather Norris, the cast included Ricco Ardemagni, Larry Lapaglia, James Norris, Paul Seminara, Neil Gillespie, Scott Minor, Terry D. Norris, and Anthony Nguyen.

2018 marks the 100th anniversary of the first Pulitzer Prize for Drama being given. To pay tribute to 100 years of the Pulitzer for Drama, each day this month a different Little Rock production of a Pulitzer Prize winning play will be highlighted.  Many of these titles have been produced numerous times.  This look will veer from high school to national tours in an attempt to give a glimpse into Little Rock’s breadth and depth of theatrical history.

Weekend Theatre explores THE QUALITY OF LIFE

This weekend is the final chance to catch the latest show at the Weekend Theater.  Jane Martin’s The Quality of Life plays Friday and Saturday at 7:30 pm.

Directed by Allison Pace, this play explores two couples who are at once polar opposites and facing similar situations.  The cast includes Stephanie Gunderman, Scott Minor, Fran Jameson and Alan Douglas.

The play has been described as “this magnetic work of theater, filled with compassion, honesty and humor” which “explores a myriad of ethical, religious, and moral beliefs, as well as personal rights issues concerning life and death.”
