Struggles with addiction, friendship, love, and the challenges of adulthood are at the center of the story. Jackie, a petty drug dealer, is just out of prison and trying to stay clean. He’s also still in love with his coke-addicted childhood sweetheart, Veronica. Ralph D. is Jackie’s too-smooth, slightly slippery sponsor. He’s married to the bitter and disaffected Victoria, who, by the way, has the hots for Jackie. And then there’s Julio, Jackie’s cousin…a stand-up, “stand by me” kind of guy.

The Motherf**ker With The Hat

Burbage Theatre Company

Fresh from prison and trying to stay clean and sober, Jackie must deal with the complications of a still-addicted girlfriend, his demanding sponsor, and an unwanted admirer in this funny and unvarnished look at a group of street-wise New Yorkers who make a simple love triangle look tame. Hugely popular, and a critical hit when it played on Broadway starring comedian Chris Rock, this “unromantically romantic comedy,” deals with issues as varied as love, addiction, friendship, trust, and deceit.  Recovery has never been funnier, or more heart-breaking.
