		Imagining Madoff by Deb Margolin October 18 - November 13, 2011
		The much anticipated WNY premiere by OBIE Award winner, Deb Margolin.

With testimony from Madoff’s personal secretary before the Securities and Exchange Commission, we delve into the minds of two towering men, as their mutual will to confide and confess accelerates through the night.Directed by: Greg Natala. Starring: Saul Elkin, Robert Rutland, & Ellen Horst.

		The Jewish Wife & The Duck Variations Double Feature February 9 - March 4, 2012 The Jewish Wife by Bertolt Brecht Frankfurt, 1935. Judith Keith, the Jewish wife of a consultant doctor, is packing. As she phones friends and relatives to tell them of her imminent departure it becomes apparent that she is fleeing Germany in the face of Nazi prejudice; to save her husband, Fritz, embarrassment and probable loss of position. She rehearses a frank confrontation with Fritz but when he returns, they lapse into the clichés that both know are lies: "You could do with a change of air ... It's only a couple of weeks." Directed by: Saul Elkin. Starring: Megan Callahan and Tim Newell The Duck Variations by David Mamet The play depicts a discussion taking place between two elderly men sitting on a park bench watching ducks. The dialogue begins with the mating habits of ducks and runs to examine law, friendship and death. The principal irony is that the men really know nothing about ducks. If they did, it would not improve their beautiful fugue on the theme of the possibility of happiness. Rather they use what experience has taught them and scattered, possibly incorrect ideas and facts to make guesses. They each assure the other that their guesses are established fact. By argument and occasional agreement a composite view of ducks and by extension, the world, begins to emerge. Directed by: Peter Palmisano. Starring: Saul Elkin & Tim Newell
