.men behaving badly

Fat Pig   by Neal LaBute             ...........
..................Oct 4–20, 2007

What's the "big" deal?

A classic love story. Boy meets girl. Girl weighs a lot. Friends weigh in. Can the couple last? The Washington Post says, "A surprisingly gentle portrait of the pressures exerted on unconventional love, of the power those deemed attractive hold over people of less streamlined allure."  Neal LaBute's funny, sharp-tongued Broadway smash has its regional premiere with NET.

Directed by Artistic Director Greg Procaccino.

The Santaland Diaries by David Sedaris                         .....Dec 6 - 22, 2007

He's ba-a-ack! 

NET revives its celebrated Christmas antidote, just in time to save your holiday!  Affirming the Grinch in each of us, David Sedaris chronicles his experience working as one of Santa's little helpers in Macy's Santaland in New York City.  The NY Times says, "A delightfully thorny account of working as a Yuletide elf at Macy's. Priceless observations, both outrageous and subtle. Destined to hold a place in the annals of American humor writing." 
Get ready for the elf with attitude!

Directed by Associate Artistic Director Nathan Gabriel.

Glengarry Glen Ross   by David Mamet                           May 8–24, 2008

Dog-eat-dog fun at its finest!

David Mamet's Pulitzer Prize-winning modern classic crackles with the fiery language of cutthroat competition among real estate salesmen fighting to keep not only their jobs, but their very lives.  The New York Times says, "As Mr. Mamet's command of dialogue has now reached its most dazzling pitch, so has his mastery of theatrical form." Considered the author's best work. A masterpiece, it is pure Mamet.
