HIR
September 7, 2023 - September 24, 2023
by Taylor Mac
Directed by Maryann Green
Starring Jake Montgomery
Avis Judd
Olive Adams
and Michael Woodson
When a son returns home from Afghanistan ready to challenge his abusive father, he finds an unexpected scenario: Isaac’s father has suffered a debilitating stroke and his mother has gleefully taken control of the household with unwavering support from little sister Max, newly out as transgender. Isaac revels in the old, “be careful what you wish for” mantra, as he struggles to find his place in this new family dynamic. Celebrated as a dysfunctional family dramedy for a new era, Taylor Mac’s HIR turns patriarchy on its head with intriguingly fresh results. Note: This show contains explicit language and adult themes.

Reviews & Testimonials
"What is remarkable about ‘Hir’ is not its woolly, dark vision of an American family run amok, but the flawed and real humanity that simmers beneath all the surreal comedy."
