Join the Adventure!
Theatre is always a risk, a gamble; a great
adventure which artists and audiences
embark on together.
This season we’re expanding the adventure to
two full seasons in our two beautiful theatres.
The five-play main stage season is filled with
the best dramas, comedies, and musicals of
modern theatre. Our four-play Larry L. King
Theatre season will bring even more excitement
and variety, with brand new cutting-edge
comedies and dramas and showcase pieces for
Austin’s premiere professional acting company.
Subscribe to the main stage season and receive
a discount on King Theatre productions, or
subscribe to both seasons and get the best value
and the most entertaining and enriching
year of professional theatre!
I invite you to join the artists of Austin
Playhouse for another spectacular season
of professional theatre.
The strong support of our subscribers makes
this great theatre possible. In appreciation, we
offer our subscribers the lowest ticket prices,
priority seating, no-hassle reservations and
rescheduling, discounts to special off-season

Come join us to celebrate the
human experience through
another season of productions
that nourish your

your life.
I look forward to
seeing you at
Austin Playhouse.
Sincerely yours,
Don Toner

Speed the Plow
by David Mamet
Larry L. King Theatre
March 28 - May 11, 2008
Austin Playhouse is proud to close out our first full second stage
season in the Larry L. King Theatre with David Mamet's biting
comedy, Speed the Plow. David Mamet's fast-paced comedy that
takes on Hollywood executives with the same perceptive, dark humor
the playwright employed in his modern classics Glengarry Glen Ross
and American Buffalo.
In Speed the Plow, two movie executives are faced with a choice;
produce a sure-fire hit that has no artistic value or an "Eastern
writer's" meaningful, but commercially challenged book about
the end of the world. The easy choice for these two executives is
complicated by the arrival of a beautiful new secretary with a
persuasive opinion of her own.
This extremely funny look at the morals that fuel the Hollywood
machine stars Austin Playhouse Acting Company member Ben Wolfe
(Don't Dress for Dinner), along with veteran Austin actor Ken
Bradley (recently seen in Hyde Park Theatre's production of The
Pillowman), and Hallie Martin (Austin Playhouse's Travesties).
Speed the Plow is co-directed by Michael Stuart and Lara Toner, with
lighting design by Don Day, and sound design by Jimy Gunn.
