We like to deny that there's a class system in this country. Yet, with the influx of immigrants trying to make a life for themselves, the wealthy clinging to their legacies, and everyone else trying to get ahead or make ends meet, our struggle to survive is a profound piece of our American story. Depression era Jews, the upper crust of Philadelphia, working class Italians, Albee's WASPish sting and a fading southern family collapsing on itself will make up this season of readings for Our American Theater Company.

Inaugural Season

For our first season, Our American Theater Compamy staged three readings at Seattle's Theatre Off Jackson.
