The Athiest

February 18th through March 13th

Hyde Park Theatre

Hyde Park Theatre will stage the Southwest Premiere of The Atheist, a dark comedy by Ronan Noone. Directed by Austin Arts Hall of Fame member Ken Webster, the production runs February 18th through March 13th.

The production features actor Joey Hood (Killer Joe, Bombs in Your Mouth, The Collection) as a hard-drinking young journalist who is high on ambition and low on morals. His character, Augustine Early, will do anything to be famous - even if it means blackmailing a Congressman for a story that will make Augustine a star.

Irish born playwright Noone made his Off-Broadway debut with the play The Blowin of Baile Gall, which was produced by Gabriel Byrne at the Irish arts Center in New York in 2005. The production was nominated by the American Theatre Critics Association for the “Steinberg New Play Award” and won the Elliot Norton Award for “Outstanding New Script.”

Performances of The Atheist are Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 8 p.m., and tickets are $19 for general admission and $17 for students and seniors. Thursday performances are "Pay-What-You-Can."

The Hyde Park Theatre is located at 511 West 43rd. For more information and reservations, call (512) 479-PLAY or visit www.HydeParkTheatre.org.
