NHP alum (2009 and 2016) Ken Weitzman’s great play gets its Michigan premiere this year!

Retired NFL player Don Devers experiences both jocular and violent outbursts as a result of his struggles with traumatic brain injury. While relying on Post-it notes to get him through the day, Ed Ryan, a desperate longtime fan, shows up on his doorstep. Thus begins a new-found game with Don’s pregnant daughter Stephanie, and Ed’s pregnant wife Sarah, plotting from the sidelines. The hero, the fan, and the expectant mothers discover new ways to help each other and create a new family of sorts. An emotional rollercoaster, the play is as moody, funny and unpredictable as its football star. Halftime with Don was an audience favorite during TPT’s In The Works reading series and will be directed by Bill Simmons.
