The Motherf**ker with the Hat is presented by Theatre Exile in partnership with The Brothers’ Network.

Featuring: J Hernandez, Amanda Schoonover, Scott Greer, Daniela Malavé, and Zach Valdez.

Just released from prison, Jackie (Hernandez) lives with his childhood sweetheart Veronica (Malavé) and is staying clean with the help from his too-smooth sponsor Ralph D (Greer). Things are looking up for Jackie until he spots another man’s hat in their apartment. The Motherf**ker with the Hat by Pulitzer Prize-winner Stephen Adly Guirgis is a fast-paced, brutally funny, foul-mouthed look at modern love, friendship, addiction, and the challenges of adulthood. The Tony Award-nominated show made its Broadway debut in 2011.

Honorary Producers: Linda & David Glickstein
Associate Producers: Mark & Tobey Dichter and Gayle & David Smith

Reviews

“Wildly entertaining”

“[The Motherf**ker with the Hat’s] unexpectedly complex take on addiction and recovery, as well as its poetically profane language and quirky, broken characters, will keep audiences riveted”

Julia M. Klein, Philadelphia Inquirer

“A stellar cast brings remarkable authenticity and excellent timing to Guirgis’s gritty comedy.”

“… If you don’t mind a lot of cussing and a little onstage drug use, this Motherf**ker is a seriously good time.”

“Enraging, funny, and surprisingly life-affirming.”

Rebecca Rendell, Talkin' Broadway

“A powerful play”

“First-rate theatre.”

“The casting in [The Motherf**ker with the Hat] was spot-on as the five actors not only fit their characters well, but also play against each other splendidly.”

Richard Lord, Performance Font PA
