SYNOPSIS: In a decrepit Chicago junk shop, three ne’er-do-wells – petty thieves and junkies – plot to claw their way out of America’s economic trash-bin in a story that’s equal parts tragedy and comedy. Junk shop owner Donny, naïve young junkie Bobby, and paranoid loose cannon Teach plot to rob a coin collector who foolishly showed off a valuable American Buffalo nickel. Although they see themselves as businessmen on the rise, their ambitions clash against the realities of their own habits and deficiencies – testing the limits of friendship, interrogating the meaning of loyalty, and forcing each of them to confront the near-impossibility of trust. Is the American dream really a nightmare?
Since its premiere in 1975, audiences have loved American Buffalo’s vivid characters, dark humour, volatile intensity and thoughtful examinations of friendship, loyalty, and success. Over the years, this play has also attracted the most talented actors of three consecutive generations – including Robert Duvall, John Goodman, John Leguizamo, Al Pacino, William H. Macy, Dustin Hoffman, Dennis Franz, and J.T. Walsh – who crave the opportunity to wrestle with truly challenging material that demands sensitivity, energy, nuance, and focus. Be prepared to bring your A game!
ROLES:
- WALTER “TEACH” COLE (male, 30-50 years old, open ethnicity) – A volatile, boastful wild card who is a longtime friend and associate of Donny. His mood changes almost whimsically, and he exudes a sense of menace even when he’s happy.
- BOBBY (male, 17-25 years old, open ethnicity) – A young junkie who works as Donny’s gopher, and a substitute son. He’s slow on the uptake, prone to mistakes, and very naïve. But he’s also eager to prove himself one of the guys. MUST BE ABLE TO PERFORM CONVINCING STAGE FALLS.
NOTE: The role of Donny has been pre-cast.
