Carson McCullers’ classic novel is adapted for the
stage by acclaimed playwright Rebecca Gilman (Spinning
Into Butter) and directed by Doug Hughes (The Beard
of Avon at NYTW, Doubt). The Heart is
a Lonely Hunter is a beautiful and timeless tale about
the universal need for human connection. The Heart is
a Lonely Hunter follows the story of a deaf man, John
Singer, as he navigates the world without his dearest friend
who has been committed to an insane asylum. When Singer
moves to a small Southern town, the locals flock to him
as a newfound confidant, seeking compassion and understanding
from the one person who needs it the most. Singer’s
isolation in the world is mirrored in a few of the townspeople
he meets along the way – a café owner, a rebellious
teenager, a black physician, and an idealistic labor organizer
whose dreams have been shattered. The Heart is a Lonely
Hunter intertwines the lives of these characters in
a surprising way that results in a deeply moving story of
outcasts in the South during the Great Depression.
NYTW

TOP SECRET
Written by Geoffrey Cowan and Leroy Aarons
Directed by John Rubinstein
A co-production with L.A. Theatre Works and Affinity Collaborative Theater
Spring 2010
Top Secret: The Battle for the Pentagon Papers, based on interviews and documents acquired through the Freedom of Information Act, is an inside look at The Washington Post's decision to publish the classified study documenting U.S. involvement in Vietnam. The epic legal battle went to the nation's highest court and asked the question “In a democratic society, when, if ever, should a government be allowed to protect secrets in the name of national security?” Featuring a cast of 11, representing the real life characters at the center of this historic event (from Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee to Post publisher Katherine Graham to Richard Nixon himself), this real life story about one of the great "stand up and cheer" moments in American journalism rivals The Front Page for drama, wit, and the sheer exuberance of watching the good guys triumph.
