The Typist, a world premiere play by award-winning playwright Shem Bitterman will open January 27th at the Hudson Guild Theatre. Jeremy Wechsler, Artistic Director of Chicago’s Theatre Wit will direct with live music directed and composed by Emmy nominated Roger Bellon. Produced by Plays With People and Danna Hyams Productions, The Typist stars Noah James (The Chosen) and Evangeline Edwards (Heroes of the Fourth Turning). Production design is by Joel Daavid (Adolescent Salvation).

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 TYPIST will have two preview performances on Tuesday, January 27th & Thursday, January 29th at 8pm. Opening night is on Friday, January 30th and it runs through Monday, March 9th at the Hudson Guild Theatre. Tickets are now on sale at PlaysWithPeople.com.
