Welcome!

Welcome to The David Mamet School for Boys. Please forgive us while we work on our appearance. We hope you enjoyed our production of DUTCHMAN by LeRoi Jones.

Dear Patron,

Thank you so much for your interest in The David Mamet School for Boys. It has long been a dream of mine to start a theater company. What the mission statement or the goal would be was always unclear. Mainly I am interested in a script that challenges the conventional means of story-telling. Sometimes that script will challenge one’s comfort level, but that’s what it’s all about in the theater. The audience participation is a key element in the world of theater, as well as that of the playwright. Without the post-modern playwrights, we would not be asked to look at our world in a much different light than we are used to. Please join me in exploring new work for the Portland stage.

Best,

Megan Ward

Artistic Director, The David Mamet School for Boys
