NYC GROUP TO PRESENT ONE OF HANRAHANS PLAYS Open Hydrant Theatre Company, a new Bronx-based professional group, will present SOLDIER BOY, a short play written by Joe Hanrahan and originally produced by his St. Louis group, The Midnight Company. The play will be part of Open Hydrants 2013 Short Play Festival, and will be one of ten plays, chosen from 300 entries, playing November 22-24. Prior to starting Open Hydrant, co-founders Luis Cardenas and Sarah Rosenberg were featured in the award-winning documentary SHAKESPEARE HIGH, about the profound influence the Drama Teachers Association of Southern California have had on disadvantaged youth. Executive produced by Kevin Spacey, and featuring other DTASC alumnae including Val Kilmer, Mare Winningham and Richard Dreyfus, SHAKESPEARE HIGH was seen on the Showtime Netowrk and is now available through Netflix instant viewing. More information is available on openhydrant.org or shakespearehigh.org. SOLDIER BOY was presented by The Midnight Company in July 2007, along with another of Hanrahans short plays, THE LITTLE FRENCHY FILES. (The two were nominated for best new plays in the now defunct Kevin Kline Awards.) SOLDIER BOY, a broad anti-war satire, featured actors Larry Dell, Travis Hanrahan, Ayse Eren, Steve Springmeyer and Marianne Laury. The Midnight Company will be presenting SOLEMN MOCKERIES by Rick Creese, the true story of William-Henry Ireland, the great Shakespearean Forger of 1795, January 3-18, 2014, at the Tower Grove Abbey of Stray Dog Theatre.
