Happy Medium Theatre, Inc Presents THE SPITTING IMAGE 3/24-4/2

Happy Medium Theatre, Inc. (HMT) furthers and challenges audiences with The Spitting Image, directed by Jared Culverhouse. The production runs March 24th - April 2nd at the Factory Theatre, 791 Tremont Street, Boston, MA, 02118.

New York and Boston theatre scenes mash up this New Year to bring the best of both worlds to Happy Medium Theater's production of Sophie Klein's original script, The Spitting Image.

ABOUT THE SHOW:

The Spitting Image is a modern story of metamorphosis, inspired by the myths of "Pygmalion & Galatea" and "Orpheus & Eurydice." A painter and his model use one another to access the dark secrets hidden in her portrait. It is a journey of self-discovery through the reflection of art.

ABOUT THE DIRECTOR:

Jared Culverhouse: Founder of Working Man's Clothes Productions, Jared started the company in 2005 in New York City. He has his BFA in Acting from The University of Texas at San Marcos and is a professional director, acting coach and acting teacher. His most recent directorial endeavor won the 2010 GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding New York Theatre. He has coached and taught award winning actors in theatre, film and television. He helps to cast all plays he directs, and because of that has formatted an Audition Workshop to help the talented actor prepare, execute, get called back and book the gig. Coming up, Jared will be directing the regional premiere of the new play The Spitting Image at The Factory Theatre with Boston's Happy Medium Theatre Company this spring.

The Spitting Image continues Happy Medium Theatre's already-successful second full-length season. Happy Medium's Family (de)Values show was lauded by Kilian Melloy of Edge Boston as "superb" and "uniformly excellent." Our production of Douglas Carter Beane's Music From a Sparkling Planet was praised by Kay Bourne of Edge Boston as "subtle," "realistic" and "wonderful;" and Jenna Scherer of The Boston Herald said it was "remarkable for its economy," had "quick comic timing," and was putting Happy Medium in "a promising direction."

Happy Medium's inaugural production of Neil Simon's The Gingerbread Lady was also met with accolades. Killian Melloy of Edge Boston hailed the production as "a [Factory Theatre] standout;" and was "quite good;" and Larry Stark proclaimed that "Happy Medium was a gutsy new company!"

Our most recent show, The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds was hailed as "skin-tingling," "first-rate," and "fully realized" by Kilian Melloy of Edge Boston.
