The Hiding Place - A quirky romantic comedy from the writer of the Tony-award winning musical hit “Avenue Q,” Jeff Whitty, expect a satirical, youthful production satirizing literary and art culture in mid-90’s Manhattan. While “The Hiding Place” won’t show how everyone’s a little bit racist or feature any Gary Coleman cameos, anything by Whitty should please and provide some bittersweet insights into relationships.
