Richmond playwright and actor Chandler Hubbard evokes empathy with his work and often touches on vulnerable subjects including relationships, generational trauma, systemic inequities and grief.
“If I can show just one person that they aren’t alone, it will all have been worth it,” he says.
His work “Roman À Clef” is onstage May 8-26 as part of The New Theatre at Firehouse. Directed by Sharon Ott, the story follows six actors rehearsing a play about a seemingly blissful family. As interpersonal secrets are revealed, relationships are upturned, and the meaning of family is reassessed. The production’s experimental, play-within-a-play and comedic style blurs the line between performance and reality.
Tickets are $35.
