David Mamet’s Oleanna
September 30, 2026 – October 1, 2026
Details & Tickets
David Mamet’s Oleanna is an uncomfortably relevant play exploring gender, authority, power, and education through a series of increasingly fraught conversations between a university professor and his student. Written in 1992 in response to the Anita Hill–Clarence Thomas hearings, the play examines what happens when assumptions, personal biases, and failures of communication turn differences into divisions. This production invites audiences to reflect on their own perspectives and continue the conversation with openness and respect.
Talkback & Reception
Thursday, Oct. 1, 5–6:30 p.m.
Following the afternoon performance, continue the conversation during a talkback moderated by Colorado College President Manya Whitaker, with refreshments and light hors d’oeuvres. Talkback attendees may also receive a complimentary ticket to that evening’s performance of Come From Away, capacity permitting.
Free and open to the public. RSVPs are strongly encouraged.
