  • And Bill Smitrovich (Drew Thatcher in Life Goes On) Are Set to Appear in American Buffalo, a Revival of David Mamet’S American Classic
    LOS ANGELES, March 8, 2013 – Ron Eldard (Justified, ER), Freddy Rodriguez (Rico in Six Feet Under) and Bill Smitrovich (Drew Thatcher in Life Goes On) are set to appear in American Buffalo, a revival of David Mamet’s American classic. The production is directed by Geffen Playhouse Artistic Director Randall Arney, whose previous work at the theater includes Superior Donuts by Tracy Letts, Speed-the-Plow by David Mamet, All My Sons by Arthur Miller, Take Me Out by Richard Greenberg, Boy Gets Girl by Rebecca Gilman, and David Rambo’s God’s Man in Texas by David Rambo. American Buffalo begins previews in the Gil Cates Theater at the Geffen Playhouse on Tuesday, April 2, with the official opening on Wednesday, April 10. Tickets are available in-person at the Geffen Playhouse box office, via phone at 310-208-5454 or online at www.geffenplayhouse.com. One of Pulitzer Prize winner, and Tony and Oscar nominee David Mamet’s defining works, American Buffalo was instantly hailed as a new American classic when it opened on Broadway in 1977. The New York Times reviewer Frank Rich said it was “one of the best America plays of the last decade.” Now, Randall Arney takes a fresh look at these misguided misfits who are a little out of luck and way out of their league as they plot the theft of a rare coin collection. As the time of the heist approaches, tension and anticipation build revealing loyalties and testing friendships. Negotiating explosive humor, frenetic energy and surprising tenderness, this play promises a mesmerizing night whether seeing it for the first time or rediscovering this groundbreaking work.

  • Chaley Rose and Nathan Witte Star in 'My Best Friend's
    CHALEY ROSE AND NATHAN WITTE STAR IN ‘MY BEST FRIEND’S BOUQUET,’ A NEW, ORIGINAL MOVIE PREMIERING OCTOBER 10, ON HALLMARK CHANNEL Part of the Network’s Annual “Fall Harvest” Programming Event STUDIO CITY, CA – August 26 2020 – Chaley Rose (“Nashville”) and Nathan Witte (“Charmed”) star in “My Best Friend’s Bouquet,” premiering Saturday, October 10 (9 p.m. ET/PT), on Hallmark Channel as part of the network’s annual “Fall Harvest” programming event. Rebecca Olson (“Just My Type”), Luisa d’Oliveira (“The 100”), Casey Manderson (“You’re Bacon Me Crazy”), Thomas Cadrot (“The Good Doctor”) and Jaime M. Callica (“Upside-Down Magic”). Josie Hughes (Rose) is a hopeless romantic who believes in the kind of romance in black- and-white movies where the leading lady finds her one true love and gets swept off her feet. She also believes the wedding bouquet always finds its way to the right person when tossed by the bride, as proven time and again at weddings dating back to her childhood. But single Josie ends up with the bouquet at her friend Emma’s (d’Oliveira) wedding instead of their not-single friend Athena (Olson) and fears she’s wrecked her chances of getting engaged. But when Josie begins dating eligible bachelor Will (Callica) after meeting at the reception – much to the dismay of her long-time friend Alex (Witte), who has secretly held a torch for her since college – she decides the bouquet is responsible for the budding romance and begins to think that Will is “the one.” As Josie clings to the notion that the bouquet is always right, she’s missing the real-world signs that her perfect match is someone else who’s been right in front of her all along.
