It’s been a while since the B Street Theatre staged a David Mamet script, and his 1988 Hollywood satire Speed-the-Plow is now regarded as something of a raucous contemporary classic. This production about a studio executive’s moral struggles features B Street regulars David Pierini, Kurt Johnson and Stephanie Altholz, with Jerry Montoya directing. It opens September 24 and runs through November 6.
