The Hub Theatre presents A Man, His Wife and His Hat by Lauren Yee

A few weeks ago, my dear friend and artistic director of The HUB Theatre, Helen Pafumi and I connected about the role of women in artistic leadership. It was a phone call in the middle of the day. We spoke about aesthetic vision, cultural awareness, and access to opportunities. We spoke about what is and isn't expected of us as women in the theatre. We spoke about intentions, courage and the various ways we could serve our community. It was an unexpected and invigorating conversation that shifted my perspective in an interesting, surprising and irreversible way. 

I'll be sharing more on all of that soon. For now, it is my great pleasure to feature The HUB Theatre's current production, A MAN, HIS WIFE AND HIS HAT by Lauren Yee under the direction of Shirley Serotsky, which opens this weekend. Over the next few days, I'll be sharing interviews with Helen, Shirley and Lauren. This is a unique and beautiful play that you  won't want to miss.

A Man, His Wife and His Hat
By Lauren Yee
Directed by Shirley Serotsky

In A Man, His Wife, and His Hatwe meet Hetchman, a retired hatmaker—perhaps the finest hatmaker ever—who loves his hat more than anything. Except maybe his wife. He loves her too. When BOTH go missing, Hetchman vows to find them, and will stop at nothing to do so. But, can he muster the strength and energy to leave the comfort of his armchair? A fantastical series of events threatens to derail his endeavor. In Yee’s time-bending, mind zapping world, people float away and hats serenade their wearers in ethereal clarinet melodies. Lost memories are sealed inside jars. And life is accompanied by a talking wall and a hungry golem. In this world where anything can happen, only the force of love can hold you to the ground. Following a successful staged reading in 2012, The Hub Theatre is thrilled to present this fully staged DC Premiere of this klezmer-inspired love triangle between a man, his wife ... and his hat.
