SON OF A HUTCH Extends thru 5/31 at Stage Left Studio
Joe Hutcheson shares a hilarious collection of stories about growing up gay in the Hutcheson family, where all the men are nicknamed "Hutch" and boys who identify with soap opera heroines can't identify with their dads. Until they grow up. Whether trying to get kicked off the football team or making his brother act out scenes from soap operas, Hutcheson shows the audience the 1980's through the eyes of a little gay boy who doesn't want to be a Hutch.
Hutcheson and King have collaborated several times before, including the award winning solo show, Miss Magnolia Beaumont Goes to Provincetown, which is an official selection of the 2013 Fresh Fruit Festival, (FringeNYC Overall Excellence Award, Critics' Pick of the Cincinnati Fringe Award) and The Geography of a Nervous Breakdown (Midtown InterNational Theatre Festival Best of the Fest Nominee).
