Ad Astra’s first show of the season, A Life in the Theatre by David Mamet, is certain to be a knockout when it takes to the stage from March 2-25, 2023. 

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright of Glengarry Glen Ross, A Life in the Theatre is a hilarious and heart-warming tale of two actors exploring the meaning of life.

A Life in the Theatre, Ad Astra Theatre, Fortitude Valley

Legendary stage actor Robert (Francis McMahon, “Elvis” “Ticket to Paradise”) takes aspiring stage actor John (Jesse Richardson, “A Godless Country” “Elvis”) under his not-so-benevolent wing as they traverse a season of plays, bars, and gigantic egos.
