DRAMAPHEMERA: THE LOST PLAYS!
Do you all remember when we had technical difficulties on the closing night of HPI3: DRAMAPHEMERA, and we couldn’t livestream the LIVE portion of this intensive? Unfortunately, the wifi wasn’t working at the studio we were performing at, but thankfully, we were able to record ALL of the plays, they are captioned, and ready to be broadcast to YOU! Starting next week, we will be PRESENTING the SIX plays that were “lost” and we will call THIS special ENCORE for this intensive: HPI3: DRAMAPHEMERA: THE LOST PLAYS!! Tune in each night either on YouTube Live at 7:30 pm EST and/or on Facebook Live at 8:30 pm EST to see one of the LOST plays. Also, it will be a SURPRISE for the actors too because they haven’t seen the recordings of these PLAYS yet. After each recording, we will have a brief talkback with Nick and the company of actors. We hope to SEE you all there!
REUNION!
2025 READING — March 24
TBTB capped their hugely successful HUNTER IN FOUR play reading series on Monday, March 24 with a reading of Samuel D. Hunter’s outstanding play, THE HEALING, featuring the original
2016 cast: Mary Theresa Archbold, Shannon DeVido, David Harrell, Lynne Lipton, John McGinty
Jamie Petrone, and Pamela Sabaugh.
TBTB commissioned Sam to write THE HEALING, which we premiered in June 2016!
TBTB worked with Signature Theatre Center to spotlight four of Samuel D. Hunter’s amazing plays in celebration of the world premiere of his latest work, GRANGEVILLE.
In addition to THE HEALING, the three other works we featured in the reading series were:
A GREAT WILDERNESS, CLARKSTON, and THE HARVEST (photos below).
We were overjoyed to play to four sold out houses during our month-long series and look forward to producing future play reading series, which will feature other outstanding playwrights!

Disability is the only diversity that cuts across all racial, gender, social, and class distinctions. Disability knows no age, race, religion, gender, culture, or sexual orientation. As such, we view disability as a common ground, where the voices from every sector of our society can come together to be represented and expressed. A gift to TBTB helps us produce shows that welcome artists with all disabilities, across all forms of creativity. TBTB is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and contributions are tax-deductible.
