THE MOTHERF*CKER WITH THE HAT
by Stephen Adly Guirgis
(May 30 - June 16)
directed by Jackie Davis

SYNOPSIS – Struggles with addiction, friendship, love, and the challenges of adulthood are at the center of the story. Jackie, a petty drug dealer, is just out of prison and trying to stay clean. He's also still in love with his coke-addicted childhood sweetheart, Veronica. Ralph D. is Jackie's too-smooth, slightly slippery sponsor. He's married to the bitter and disaffected Victoria, who, by the way, has the hots for Jackie. And then there's Julio, Jackie's cousin...a stand-up, "stand by me" kind of guy.

"Guirgis, a brilliant comedic talent...also has an original and knowing take on class... Guirgis' characters are strivers who lack the language to 'pass' in a white-collar world; they're frustrated by limitations that they're only half aware of, and that frustration provides much of the painful hilarity in their dialogue, which piles miscommunication on top of misunderstanding."
- New York Times

"It's a tight, smart and splendidly well-made, a tough-minded, unromantically romantic comedy that keeps you laughing, then sends you home thinking."
- Wall Street Journal

"Funny indeed-not to mention surprising, disturbing and poignant...dark, rich comedy...By not putting characters or their dilemmas in neat boxes, Guirgis gives us, in HAT, a slice of hard life that's as provocative as it is absorbing."
- USA Today
