THE EDGE ENSEMBLE THEATRE COMPANY PRESENTS AN EDGE CAFÉ PRODUCTION
A Time for Poetry with Peter Eisenstadter
Poetry has the power to awaken the fire in our souls and to touch those deeper currents of feeling in our hearts. Too often we forget, lost as we are in the maelstrom of today’s events. Join us for our second Edge Café presentation of 2026, as former English teacher and current Edge actor Peter Eisenstadter offers his own selection of poems that have touched his heart.
Catherine Behrens is the director, and Kenzie Wood is the producer of this poetry reading, with lighting effects by David Teubner and Scott Rodenhauser. There will be two performances only, Saturday, October 3, at 7:30 PM, and Sunday, October 4, at 2 PM at The Edge Theater, 310 Marlboro St., Suite 112, Keene, NH. Admission is $12 general admission, $10 for students and seniors. Tickets must be purchased at the door. Cash or checks only. Seating for Edge Café is first come, first served only. We will not be taking reservations.
Stay tuned for information on The Edge’s fourth major production of the season, Arsenic and Old Lace by Joseph Kesselring in November.
THE EDGE ENSEMBLE THEATRE COMPANY PRESENTS AN EDGE CAFÉ PRODUCTION
American Buffalo by David Mamet
What is an Edge Café production you might be wondering? It is the thing we do now and again in between our four main productions each year. It is designed to allow ensemble members to explore material in which they are particularly interested. Edge Café productions are generally rehearsed readings of various forms of dramatic literature!
What value do you put on a rare coin? How much is an American buffalo nickel worth? And what does it all mean to the three protagonists of David Mamet’s American Buffalo? In this rehearsed reading, part of the Edge Cafe Reading Series, Mamet takes on the task of replacing the iambic pentameter pattern of speech with the blunt, vulgar and profane speech – the “rough poetry” – of modern times.
Scott Rodenhauser will direct Damien Licata, Bruce Holloway and Jonathan Benney in this Edge Café production of Mamet’s play. There will be two readings only, on Saturday, August 1, at 7:30 PM and Sunday, August 2, at 2:30 PM at The Edge Theater, 310 Marlboro St., Suite 112, Keene, NH.
Admission is $12 general general audience, $10 for students and seniors 65+ years. Tickets must be purchased at the door. Cash or checks only.
Seating for Edge Café is first come, first serve only. We will not be taking reservations.
Viewer discretion is advised.
