A HAPPY MEDIUM HISTORY:

The Happy Medium Theatre Company, Inc. (affectionately known as HMT) is a not-for-profit 501 (c)(3) arts organization and resident theatre company of The Factory Theatre. HMT is fiercely dedicated to bridging the gap between professionalism and fun in the Boston Theatre Scene. HMT intends to do this by collaborating closely with, and proudly supporting all, the ideas of our actors, directors, playwrights, patrons, and designers. Happy Medium Theatre is a proud member of Stage Source and the Small Theatre Alliance of Boston.

The LIVE YOUR DREAM FESTIVAL, while allowing these wonderful talents to advance themselves, will also be utilized to promote a buzz and raise some funds for the final two shows of our second season, Douglas Carter Beane's The Country Club (featuring: Krista D'Agostino, Abigail Matzeder, Nick Miller, Kiki Samko, Victor Shopov, Audrey Lynn Sylvia, and Michael Underhill) and Lesley Anne Moreau's Boulevard of Broken Dreams (featuring Mikey DiLoreto, Nick Miller, Kiki Samko, Kendall Stewart, and Michael Underhill).

HMT has been described by various circuits as "a gutsy new company" (Larry Stark) and "small, but solid" (Jenna Scherer). Our shows have been hailed as "the best show [Johnny Monsarrat has] seen in the last year," "skin-tingling," and "uniformly excellent."

Happy Medium Theatre has also been afforded some wonderful reviews from such papers and online sites as: Edge Boston (Kilian Melloy and Kay Bourne), The Boston Herald (Jenna Scherer), Boston Events Insider (Johnny Monsarrat), Theater Mirror (Larry Stark), and The Jewish Advocate (Jules Becker).
