Epperson, Gero, Lecesne, et al. Set for Upcoming Studio Theatre Shows

The Studio Theatre, announced casting  its upcoming productions of American Buffalo and Legends.  American Buffalo will feature Peter Allas, Jimmy Davis, and Edward Gero. Performances will take place at the Milton Theatre, May 5-June 13.

The modern classic about petty crooks and the pitfalls of American business percolates with Mamet's unmistakable style. In a Chicago South Side junk shop, three smalltime thieves, Don, Teach and Bobby, conspire to steal a valuable coin collection from a wealthy man. As these self-defined entrepreneurs plot a crime that never happens, they prove to be dark soul mates to those making headlines today.

John Epperson is set to star as Leatrice in James Kirkwood's Legends.  Performances will take place at the Metheny Theatre, June 16-July 4. Other cast members include: James Lecesne, Tom Story, Roz White, and Leo Christopher Sheridan.
