The Typist - Whose Story Is It? A World Premiere by Shem Bitterman, Directed by Jeremy Wechsler
Featuring
Noah James Noah James
Evangeline Edwards Evangeline Edwards

A jazz-infused love story, THE TYPIST transports us to the Summer of '61 in a Greenwich Village basement apartment where a bourbon-soaked novelist racing to complete his manuscript for publishing hires a typist to commit his words to the page. What begins as a professional arrangement—dictation, typing, coffee, repeat—becomes something more combustible.

The world premiere of multiple award-winning playwright Shem Bitterman's "The Typist" stars Noah James ("The Chosen") and Evangeline Edwards ("Heroes of the Fourth Turning"), directed by Jeremy Wechsler (Artistic Director of Chicago's Theater Wit). Danna Hyams ("The Civil Twilight") produces with MK Viakley ("Distant Tales"), with production design by Joel Daavid ("Adolescent Salvation"), costume design by Charly Charney Cohen, property design by Z Wechsler, and live music directed and composed by Emmy nominated Roger Bellon. Live Music by Alexander Andresen.
