Description

HTC's Landmark 40th Season
Opens with “Now and Then” October 17

 
Sean Grennan's comedy/drama “Now and Then” will inaugurate the Hampton Theatre Company’s 40th season this fall, with performances running from October 17 through November 3 at the Quogue Community Hall. The production will be the 133rd in the history of the HTC, which has delivered a wide variety of comedies, dramas and musicals to East End audiences since its founding in 1984.
 
Originally produced at the Peninsula Players Theatre in Wisconsin in June 2018, “Now and Then” examines the costs of the life choices we make, as well as the people who make them with us. The play opens inside a neighborhood bar in 1981 during last call, as a young bartender and aspiring musician named Jamie is closing for the night. A last-minute customer (The Man) rushes in, offering Jamie and his girlfriend Abby an offer they can’t refuse: a lucrative payday just to share a drink.
 
As the trio swap stories, Jamie finds himself reconsidering the decisions he’s made about his musical career and his future with Abby. Eventually, the young couple realize that this older man is unusually invested in their choices – and the reason he gives seems utterly incredible. But when a second, visibly disgruntled stranger (The Woman) arrives, the unbelievable begins to look like it just might be true. 
 
The cast of “Now and Then” includes four talented actors, two of whom are making their Hampton Theatre Company debuts: Kate Brady as Abby, Jamie’s girlfriend and presumptive soulmate; and Stephanie L. Moreau as The Woman, who completes the quartet onstage via a mysterious and provocative entrance. Rounding out the cast is Dayne Rasmussen (who made his HTC debut this spring in “Strictly Murder”) as Jamie, who sees his current position as a sidestep to becoming a full-time musician, and John L. Payne (Richard in HTC’s “Time Stands Still” in 2015) as The Man, whose over-the-top offer to Jamie and Abby may or may not be a harbinger of change for the couple.
 
Directing “Now and Then” is Mary Powers, who returned to the HTC after a three-decade hiatus in March to direct the theatre’s critically acclaimed production of “Strictly Murder.” Set design is by Meg Sexton; lighting design by Sebastian Paczynski; sound design by Meg Sexton; and costumes by Teresa Lebrun.
 
Performances of “Now and Then" will run from October 17 through November 3 on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7, and on Sundays at 2:30. An additional matinee performance will be offered on Saturday, November 2, at 2:30, prior to the regular 7 p.m. performance that evening.
 
Two “talkbacks” with the cast will be offered to ticketholders immediately following the October 25 and November 1 Friday-evening performances.
 
Tickets are $40 for adults, $36 for seniors (65+), $25 for students (25 and under), and $30 for veterans and Native Americans. Tickets, including subscriptions to all three Season 40 main productions (including “Boeing Boeing” in March and “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” in May), are available at hamptontheatre.org or by calling 631-653-8955. For information on group ticket sales, contact HTC General Manager Terry Brennan at 631-653-8955.
