Typecasting

Glengarry Glen Ross
(not pictured: me)

Starting Wednesday, you can see yours truly in Mamet's Glengarry Glen Ross. I will be playing a nervous Nelly, the depressing mark for one of the salesmen in the office. This, of course, fits, because I am a nervous Nelly, and, in general, easy pickings for con men.

March 4-8 at 8PM
Little Theater, Oberlin College

Honors Candidate Josh Sobel ’09 will direct a cast of seven Oberlin actors, including Honors Acting Candidate Enrico Nassi ‘09, in David Mamet’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Glengarry Glen Ross, an honest and brutal look at the dog-eat-dog mentality of the real estate business in the 1980s. The play tells the gripping, darkly humorous story of four salesmen and the cruel contest that pits them against one another, initiating a whirlwind forty-eight hours of bribery, blackmail, and theft. Based on the author’s own experience working in a real estate office, the play offers a captivating, often shocking insight into the world of men who, in the words of top salesman Ricky Roma, “live on their wits.”

Glengarry Glen Ross will be performed at Oberlin College’s Little Theater Wednesday through Sunday, March 4 through 8 at 8 pm. There will be no matinee performances. Seating in Little Theater is limited and there is no late seating. The show contains strong language and is intended for mature audiences. This production is sponsored by the Oberlin College Theater and Dance Program.
