Announcing our final production of the 2022-23 season!

WHITE RABBIT RED RABBIT - FINAL.png

No rehearsals.
No director.
No set.
 
 

A different actor reads the script cold 
for the first time at each performance.

“playful, enigmatic and haunting”
— Charles Isherwood, The New York Times

Forbidden to leave his native Iran, Nassim Soleimanpour wrote a play which travelled the world in his place. He dissects the experience of a whole generation in a wild, utterly original play that has been awarded the Dublin Fringe Festival Best New Performance, Summerworks Outstanding New Performance Text Award and The Arches Brick Award from the Edinburgh Fringe.

Since its premiere in 2011, the play has been translated into over 30 different languages and has been performed over 3,000 times by some of the biggest names in theatre and film, including actors Whoopi Goldberg, Nathan Lane, John Hurt, F. Murray Abraham, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Richard Thomas, Alan Cumming, Cynthia Nixon, and Martin Short.

The production features new NHTC members Jenny Schuck and Marty Tucker, as well as founding members George Kulp and Steve Scarpa, and longtime members Deena Nicol-Blifford and Trevor Williams. 

Note: All media and press agents have to keep in mind that the playwright lives in Iran. This play is NOT overtly political, and should not be portrayed as such. It operates on a deeper, metaphoric level, and very expressly avoids overt political comment. We therefore ask the press to be judicious in their reportage.
