THE COAL MINE THEATRE PRESENTS:

American Buffalo
November 8 - 29, 2026

By David Mamet
Directed by Jordan Laffrenier

In a cluttered, run-down Chicago junk shop, three small-time crooks plot to steal a valuable coin collection. As the heist unravels, the men's frustration and paranoia intensify. The result is a test of their trust, friendship, and the American Dream. Mamet’s uncanny prescience makes us feel the birth of MAGA in 1975.

American Buffalo is Presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.  www.concordtheatricals.com
