Rick Hardon, Private Dick

Written by company member Jake Green and directed by Sam Reisman. An “authentic” 1930′s serialized radio drama starring Rick Hardon, a pulp magazine character in the mold of The Shadow and Doc Savage, that charts the absurd exploits of the cocksure, chauvinistic private detective after a mysterious, axe-wielding attacker parts Rick from his pink prized possession and sends him spiraling into a crisis of gender/identity confusion. Part comic book adventure, part B-movie exploitation film, Rick’s quest for revenge leads to a shocking revelation that transforms him into a vigilante hero, but is it for the right reasons?

Contending with a too-large-for-TV cast of characters that includes wise-guys, gangsters, mad scientists, and fast-talking dames and fellas, Rick must cope with changes within and without himself as he tries to discover what it means to be a man in the twentieth century.

Follow Me Down

Written by company member Patrick Barrett and directed by Artistic Director Sarah Wansley, Follow Me Down is a funny and often dark drama centered on a suite of boys at Oxford University. Fighting to carve out a place for themselves in a world overcrowded with heroes, rules, and expectations, they forge and sunder bonds that will press them to their very limits. Fatherhood, youth, and sexuality are the explosive ingredients in this smart new play.
