New Haven Theater Company is proud to announce it's first annual short film festival—Reel New Haven. Reel New Haven offers filmmakers, actors, directors and arts enthusiasts in the New Haven, and surrounding communities, the opportunity to create new and exciting short films celebrating their talents and celebrating the historic, thriving community of the Greater New Haven area.

Tickets are only $10. NHTC will produce Glengarry Glen Ross by David Mamet, Thursday thru Sunday May 7 to May 24 at 8:00pm at 45 Church St., New Haven, CT. This unique site-specific production of the Pulitzer Prize-winning drama deals with money, greed, job loss and the elusive American Dream.

Talk of money returns to the former bank building located at 45 Church Street in New Haven. However, this time, the bitingly comic words written by Mamet will be given voice by a group of experienced local actors. As a distinct departure from its typical performance venues, Glengarry Glen Ross will be staged by the New Haven Theater Company in the beautiful lobby of 45 Church Street, the iconic Greek revival-style bank building. Built in 1907, the building was most recently home to Wachovia Bank’s flagship branch in New Haven. The space was made available to the theater group by the property’s new owners, the Rose Smart Growth Investment Fund I, L.P. and Hurley 45-55 Church Street, LLC. Acquired in December 2008, the new owners are currently repositioning and greening the property as the preferred downtown New Haven alternative for commercial, institutional, retail and cultural tenants interested in leasing green office, retail, restaurant, educational, performance or cultural space.

The cast for Glengarry Glen Ross includes Ian Alderman (New Haven), Peter Chenot (New Haven), Erich Greene (New Haven), George Kulp (North Haven), Steve Scarpa (New Haven), J. Kevin Smith (Norwalk) and Mike Smith (Hamden). Stage Manager is Jessica Peiffer, with the direction and design of T. Paul Lowry (New Haven).

New Haven Theater Company’s UBRSTAR.com in association with The Crescent Players will present Run to the Capulets, Raise up the Montagues. at Southern Connecticut State University.

Performances will be Friday April 3 and Saturday April 4 at 8:00pm and 10:00pm, at SCSU’s Kendall Drama Lab located at 501 Crescent Street, New Haven, CT 06515. Tickets are $10 and $5 for Students. For both 10pm shows SCSU students get 2
