HSC announces its Spring schedule of events! Check out the full listings below:

FRIDAY, MARCH 2nd at 7:30pm
Staged reading of Rick Dresser's (HSC's PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS) new darkly comic "100 YEARS", directed by Mark Shanahan (HSC's HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES).

Two couples from different parts of the country meet in a strange planned community in Florida. They share a backyard and eventually much more as they prepare for a secret cutting-edge procedure that will change their lives forever. 100 YEARS is about people who believe they should never die. Now they're doing something about it.

Dresser's plays have been produced in New York, regional theater, and Europe and include ROUNDING THIRD, and BELOW THE BELT. He wrote the book for the musical JOHNNY BASEBALL and a bluegrass ghost musical, THE HOLLER. Both appeared at the Williamstown Theater Festival with music by Rob and Willie Reale.
