Our four productions of the 2006 Season will consist of something old, something new, something dramatic, and something blue:

  Something Old – The first production of the season will be David Mamet’s classic play from nearly 30 years ago, American Buffalo, running August 17—27, 2006. Donny Dubrow runs a junk shop in Chicago. When he realizes that he sold a buffalo head nickel to a customer for a lot less than he could have gotten, he decides to steal it back, and then some. Donny's accomplice in the robbery is his young gofer Bobby, a sort of surrogate son, and for whom the robbery will serve as a rite of manhood. However, Donny's long-time friend and poker buddy, Teach, has other plans. He wants to cut the kid out of the action and do the robbery himself. Loyalty is fine, says Teach, but business is business. Winner of the Drama Critics Circle Award and an Obie, this dramatic, and often times hilarious, play stars Robert Mitchell, Rory Flynn, and Brendan Allen and is directed by Kevin Kline Award Nominee B. Weller.

  Something New – The second production of the season will be the new(ish) play Matt & Ben by Mindy Kaling & Brenda Withers, running August 31—September 10. In Matt & Ben, Kaling and Withers portray Matt (Damon) and Ben (Affleck)— before J-Lo, before Gwyneth, before "Project Greenlight," before Oscar... before anyone actually gave a damn. When the screenplay for Good Will Hunting drops mysteriously from the heavens, the boys realize they¹re being tested by a Higher Power. Time Magazine calls it one of the, “top five shows of the year!”, and the New York Post hails it as, “A hit! Acidic, funny, and affectionate!”. Starring Kirsten Wylder and Kevin Kline Award Nominee Margeau Baue Steinau, and is directed by Robert Mitchell.

THIS WILL BE THE ST. LOUIS PREMIERE OF MATT & BEN!!

  Something Dramatic – The third production of the season will Jacquelyn Reingold’s tense psychological thriller Girl Gone, running October 19—28. Tish is a young woman who dances in a topless bar. When her best friend is brutally murdered, she becomes obsessed with who killed her friend and why. The action moves rapidly from the past to the present, in and out of Tish's mind from a topless bar, to a hustler's apartment, to the middle of the street, as she tries to put together a fractured world where the pieces no longer fit. Tish finds her suspect playing the saxophone in a jazz club and risks her own life by coercing him into a reenactment of the crime. In a shocking turnaround, Tish finds what she's looking for.

  Something Blue – The NonProphets continue The Militant Propaganda Bingo Machine—our signature sketch comedy show—with a series of limited-run engagements and special shows throughout the 2006-2007 Season. Conceived by Artistic Director Robert Mitchell, The Militant Propaganda Bingo Machine is a haphazard night of 24 original sketches written by the cast and presented in a random order determined by the audience, all while playing a twisted version of BINGO. Nothing is spared and nothing is sacred in this sketch show that skewers current events, pop culture, life, the universe, and everything. Dates and locations TBA.

  The NonProphet Theater Company is proud to announce our first “official” season in our eleven year history. We have recently incorporated and are pursuing our 501(c)3, not-for-profit status as a professional, non-Equity theater company.

  The mission of The NonProphet Theater Company is to provide an outlet for established and original artistic works, and to offer creative and educational opportunities for artists and the public.
