Now Playing in the Studio: David Mamet's Oleanna

and the review is in -

"Not to be missed is the 6th Street Playhouse production of David Mamet's Oleanna. Like Mamet's American Buffalo, it's an intense, tightly-scripted depiction of people in a hell of their own making. . . . John (Tim Kniffin) is a pompous, overbearing university professor whose efforts to buy a home hinge on his being granted tenure. Carol (Gwen Kingston) is a timid undergrad who can't grasp what's being taught and asks for help—she needs to pass John's class to get into graduate school. The dismissive unconcern he shows her in the first act comes back to haunt him in the second, when Carol returns as a newly-baptized radical feminist armed with a sheaf of sexual harassment charges. Their opposing agendas collide with devastating results. Mamet's genius is that he doesn't take either side. Both characters are by turns sympathetic and despicable, and director Linda Reid slowly and masterfully turns up the heat from slow simmer to full boil. Kniffin and Kingston are brilliantly authentic in this emotional, thought-provoking enactment of mutually assured destruction. Running through April 12, Oleanna is a play worthy of repeated viewings." - Barry Willis

This summer, for the 14th year in a row, 6th Street Playhouse offers its popular Summer Theatre Workshop to youth (8 - 16 yrs. old). 6th Street Playhouse is dedicated to providing a place where young performers have a chance to learn, grow and express themselves through the magic of theatre. Participants receive training in acting, dancing and singing from professional and experienced teachers. Our Summer Workshop also presents an opportunity for young actors to perform in a regular season production with an adult cast.

Coming Soon in the GK HARDT: Into the Woods

Music & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Directed by Gene Abravaya

Once upon a time, a Baker and his Wife journey into the woods on a quest to lift a witch's curse. On the way, they cross paths with Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, Cinderella, and a menagerie of other fairy tale characters. They pursue individual wishes until their stories become entangled in unexpected ways, revealing what happens after "happily ever after." Stephen Sondheim's wickedly witty score weaves a magical spell with such bewitching gems as "Children Will Listen," "Giants In The Sky," and "No One Is Alone." This fractured fairy tale was honored with several Tony Awards.
