Truman Capote wrote a book that traded on the confidences of his socialite friends. They spurned him and it left him bereft and prone to self-destructive behavior. In this production we see Tru over 2 days, in which he talks about his life and how he hopes to ingratiate himself once again with high society.

PARENTAL ADVISORY: Although this play features child actors, it is not children’s theatre and is not appropriate for young children. Not suitable for children under 11.

A child’s house burns down, leaving everyone and everything she has behind. From this moment, a singular journey begins. 600 Highwaymen’s Employee of the Year brings together five young girls in an attempt to probe what it means to grow up and ask how people become who they are. What do we lose and what do we search for? Combining an arresting theatrical style with original songs by Obie Award-winner David Cale, this work intimately investigates the process of transformation over the course of lifetime, acted with the innocence and knowing of young girls who are not ashamed by feelings and therefore make us less ashamed of our own.
