Coming September 17: Paddy Chayefsky’s The Tenth Man
Opening TACT’s 16th season is this unique romantic comedy by the Emmy-winning and Academy Award-winning writer of the screenplays for Marty and Network. The story revolves around a Jewish exorcism of a young woman, and famous cynic Chayefsky spins a parable about the power of faith and love, getting laughs all the while. In

Remembering Bob McElwaine (1925-2010)
The American Century Theater mourns the loss of our Resident Playwright and great friend, Robert M. (Bob) McElwaine, who passed away in late January after a long illness. Bob is best remembered by TACT fans as the playwright behind the Helen Hayes-winning production of Danny and Sylvia (currently playing an extended run off-Broadway), as well as our 2008 production of the Cuban Missile Crisis drama The Titans. He will be greatly missed. Click here to read Artistic Director Jack Marshall’s tribute to Bob.
