Located in east Biloxi, the playhouse is housed in a historic building at 220 Lee Street, south of the Biloxi Kroc Center and north of the Deer Island cut. Parts of the building date to the 1890's. Amenities include handicapped parking and accessibility, dual air conditioning and heating, and lighted and patrolled parking areas.
Hurricane Katrina devastated the district, and the theatre was seriously damaged. A major renovation took place and improvements are ongoing to this day.
We work to make Biloxi Little Theatre uncommon. We produce plays that other local theatres won’t. We don’t edit our plays for content, and we offer a wide array of material. We work hard to keep our prices reasonable. We offer discounted tickets for seniors, students, and active military. We also offer season tickets at various levels, program advertising, and production sponsorship.
The arts are what make any community an interesting place to live, and Biloxi Little Theatre has been a part of the local arts scene since 1946. For over 20 years we’ve offered summer teen shows; now we’re offering programs for younger children; and we’re always ready to take a shot at something new. Come join us! Buy a ticket; encourage your friends to do the same! Work back stage, volunteer in the lobby, audition for a part! And help us spread the word about just how special theatre can be!
Description
Biloxi Little Theatre is proud to present American Buffalo, the second play of our 78th season!
American Buffalo by David Mamet is a gritty drama/dark comedy set in a junk shop in Chicago, where three small-time hustlers scheme to steal a valuable coin collection. The shop's owner, Don, enlists his young employee, Bobby, and his brash friend, Teach, to carry out the heist after Don believes he was cheated by a customer. The tension mounts as distrust, greed, and miscommunication unravel their plan, exposing the fragility of their loyalties and the darker side of human ambition. Through sharp, profane dialogue, the play explores themes of capitalism, friendship, and moral ambiguity in the pursuit of the American Dream.
American Buffalo is directed by James Taylor, and stars Sean Maurer, Bill Lipscomb and Cameron Splain. January 31 - February 2, and February 7-9, 2025. This show is included with current BLT season memberships.
