Halftime with Don at Tipping Point Theatre

Tipping Point Theatre’s (TPT) 17th theatrical season continues on January 22, 2025, with the Michigan premiere production of Ken Weitzman’s Halftime with Don. Retired NFL player Don Devers experiences both jocular and violent outbursts as a result of his struggles with traumatic brain injury. While relying on Post-it notes to get him through the day, Ed Ryan, a desperate longtime fan, shows up on his doorstep. Thus begins a new-found game with Don’s pregnant daughter Stephanie, and Ed’s pregnant wife Sarah, plotting from the sidelines. The hero, the fan, and the expectant mothers discover new ways to help each other and create a new family of sorts. An emotional rollercoaster, the play is as moody, funny and unpredictable as its football star. “This is a moving piece of work, and you don’t have to be a sports fan to be moved” (thefrontrowcenter.com).

“One of the perks of writing theater reviews is that on rare occasions, one is privileged to watch the birth of a powerful new drama. Such a drama is Halftime with Don” (Out in New Jersey Magazine).

Halftime with Don contains mature language and adult themes. TPT’s production of vibrant, culturally-significant, captivating theatrical offerings rank among some of the best professional performances offered in the state of Michigan.
