I’ve recently been elected to City Council and have been working tirelessly for the constituents of Big Cherry. That is to say, I’ll be appearing as Mr. Hanratty in the Greater Boston premiere of The Minutes by Tracy Letts at The Umbrella Stage Company in Concord, MA.
“The Smallest Towns Hide the Biggest Secrets”
An evening in Big Cherry – a small town in anywhere USA – and the city council meeting unfolds in real time, unmasking undercurrents that threaten to undo life as they know it … and driving the question, “How far would you go?”
Award-winning playwright Tracy Letts’ (August: Osage County) new play was called one of the most thrilling on Broadway in recent years. Nominated as Best New Play by the Tony Awards and Outer Critics Circle in 2022, and for the Pulitzer Prize in drama, The Minutes is part biting comedy, part Hitchcockian mystery, and at its dark heart an unflinching allegory about small-town politics and real-world power.

I am having a blast working with this perfectly cast, stellar ensemble under the direction of three-time Norton-winning director Scott Edmiston. The show is a wild ride that is certain to generate lively discussion amongst audiences. Don’t miss it!
The Minutes runs March 1-24, 2024 at the Umbrella Arts Center in Concord. Tickets are on sale now.
