The Edge Theater to Present THE MOTHERF**KER WITH THE HAT in 2015

Nominated for the 2011 Best Play Tony Award, this story is a darkly comic view of addiction, friendship, and love. Jackie, a petty drug dealer, is just out of prison and trying to stay clean. He's also still in love with his coke addicted childhood sweetheart, Veronica. But when he discovers a hat that is not his in the bedroom, life gets a little bit harder.

Director John Hartwell has cast Kent Randell as Jackie, Karen Slack as Veronica, Rick Yaconis as Ralph D., Patty Ionoff as Victoria and Jude Moran* as Cousin Julio.

Stephen Adly Guirgis is the co-artistic director and proud member of LAByrinth Theater Company. His plays have been performed on five continents and throughout the United States. Jesus Hopped the 'A' Train, Our Lady of 121st Street, In Arabia We'd All Be Kings, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot and The Little Flower of East Orange were all produced by LAByrinth and directed by Philip Seymour Hoffman. TV writing credits include NBC's "UC: Undercover," David Milch's CBS drama "Big Apple," "NYPD Blue" and "The Sopranos." Guirgis has been described as a brilliant comedic talent who has an original and knowing take on class.

In the 2015 Edge Season, seven of the eight shows are regional or world premieres, both sides of the Atlantic are represented by three British playwrights, two New York stories and one Colorado playwright. The 8th show is the classic favorite "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"
