Confidence Men: Improvised David Mamet

Austin, Texas

You know what it takes to improvise a David Mamet play?
Balls. Brass Balls. It takes brass balls to improvise a David Mamet play. Listen friend, the six intrepid members of Confidence Men have brass balls in spades and they are not afraid to use them to unfold the seedy underbelly of whatever the audience suggests on the spot. Every show, a new play will be improvised in the style of such great works as 'Glengarry Glen Ross,' 'Speed-the-Plow' and 'House of Games,' with all the rat-a-tat and grift of its actual predecessors. Featuring a 45-second live musical intermission.

Confidence Men features six Austin, Texas-based improvisers who have come together full of love for noted playwright David Mamet. Taking an audience suggestion for where that night's particular story will take place, Confidence Men is then off and running to create a 2-act improvised play infused with the verbal style and story sensibility of Mamet himself: rapid-fire elliptical speech, liberal and creative use of profanity, desperate men trying to fight for one-upmanship in a dog-eat-dog junkyard of a world.


Cast:Joe Galan, Brian Gillespie, Matt Accardo, Tommy Galan, Jon Crane, Ian Lassiter, Jeff Glaser, Kate Swan, Graham Skipper, Sarah Bell, Janio Marrero
