2013-2014 HPT Season

 

Tragedy: a tragedy
by Will Eno
September 12 - October 12, 2013


"A charming display of witty satire in the face of Armageddon. . . . this 75-minute play serves as a big ol' poke in the eye to media in an age of geopolitical uncertainty, pending disaster, and a preoccupation with ratings." - Theatermania. Directed by Ken Webster.

The Drawer Boy
by Michael Healey
March 27 - April 26, 2014


"Drawer Boy" as in "the one who draws." After ten years, we're bringing back one of the most popular and critically accplaimed shows HPT has ever done. That production won Outstanding Drama from the B. Iden Payne Awards and Outstanding Comedy from the Austin Critics Table--yes, it's that kind of show. It's 1972, and two aging farmers encounter an eager young actor whose theater collective is writing play about farming. One farmer is stern and curmudgeonly; the other's war injury has cost him his memory. They share secrets from the boy and from each other. Hilarious, surprising, and infinitely moving. Starring Michael Stuart (winner of Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy for this role, 2005), Ken Webster, and Jon Cook. Directed by Ken Webster (winner of Outstanding Director of a Drama for this show, 2004).

 

Port Authority
by Conor McPherson
July 10 - August 9, 2014


From acclaimed Irish playwright Conor McPherson, author of The Weir, Shining City, and two of HPT's biggest past hits, St. Nicholas and The Good Thief: Port Authority is the interconnected story of three generations: a young man falling for his female roommate; a middle-aged alcoholic in a great job he can't handle; and a widower who receives a mysterious package. Hilarious, moving, superb theater. Featuring Tom Green (Fixing King John, Middletown), Nate Jackson (punkplay), and Ken Webster (The Drawer Boy, St. Nicholas), who also directs.

 

A Bright New Boise
by Samuel D. Hunter
September 25- October 25, 2014


The break room of a Hobby Lobby in Boise, Idaho is the setting for Samuel D. Hunter's savagely funny and deeply moving story of a man reconnecting with the teenage son he hasn't seen since the boy was an infant. Directed by Ken Webster.
