Hune Company Living Room Series Opens NOT MAD

The first production in Hune Company's 2015 Living Room Series is the world premier of NOT MAD. Founder and Artistic Director Matt Hune directs this unique work that has been written and created by the company.

The cast includes Emma Hightower, Elizabeth Martinsen, Regina Ohashi, Billy Rosenberg, Kathleen Teodoro, and Maggie Wintz. Not Mad begins performances on July 30, 2015, in the Living Room, 1210 Stanford Street in Montrose.

Not Mad explores Shakespeare's King Lear, tears it apart, and re-imagines a new story. One that takes place today with a family that is plagued with power and misfortune. This is an attempt to understand what we are inherited from our fathers and the generations before. Part theatre, part dance, and part concert. Not Mad challenges the conventional boundaries of live performance.

The production is the first in the Living Room Series - a season of four plays in a Montrose living room that has been converted into a small theater. Each night only twenty audience members will fill the seats in the intimate space.

"This series aims to keep budgets low, space small, and imaginations large," said Artistic Director Matt Hune. "Some of Houston's most innovative and talented artists are set to be part of this series. It's a chance for people to experience a new kind of theater that is imaginative and extremely intimate."

The designers of Not Mad include Jacob Ostdiek (sets), Gina Cook (costumes), and Giovanni Youssef and Emma Martinsen as assistant directors.

The production opens Thursday July 30, 2015, at 7:30 p.m., and runs through August 8, 2015. Please note our curtain times: all performances run Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. as well as Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 p.m.

The ticket price is $20 for general admission seating. Tickets are available online at www.hunecompany.com and at the door. The box-office phone number is 713-344-1291 and is open on show days two hours before curtain time.
