Final Week to see Adam Rapp's
American Sligo
"Adam Rapp's brutal and funny play ... is keenly observed and wonderfully acted and directed" - The New York Times

Rapp’s “bizarrely entertaining dark comedy" has "a
terrific ensemble cast" and is "a powerfully satiric
look at the dark underbelly of America." - TheaterMania

David Van Asselt announced
the creation of the
Bonasorte Prize, honoring
the memory of playwright
and Rattlestick founder,
