THE MOTHERF**KER WITH THE HAT

THE MOTHERF**KER WITH THE HAT

Playing in the Long Beach Playhouse’s Studio Theater

July 22 – Aug. 19, 2023

by Stephen Adly Guirgis

Directed by Carl daSilva

Fresh from prison and trying to stay clean and sober, Jackie must deal with the complications of a still-addicted girlfriend, his demanding sponsor, and an unwanted admirer in this funny and unvarnished look at a group of street-wise New Yorkers who make a simple love triangle look tame. Hugely popular, and a critical hit when it played on Broadway starring comedian Chris Rock, this “unromantically romantic comedy,” deals with issues as varied as love, addiction, friendship, trust, and deceit.  Recovery has never been funnier, or more heart-breaking.
