The Play About My Dad

by Boo Killebrew

directed by Lee Sunday Evans


The Play About My Dad is a look at Larry Killebrew through the eyes of his daughter, Boo, who is writing a play about the hurricane that almost turned their hometown of Gulfport, Mississippi into a coral reef. As Larry narrates and Boo adds new scenes, they figure out how hard it is to tell a story the true way. Larry remembers the folks who swam to the hospital where he was a surgeon, and Boo discovers that there are a few other stories she needs to tell while they're at it. This is what Larry would say about the play: ‘My daughter Boo wrote a play about me, her, Katrina, time travel and some other stuff. It's pretty funny and there are lots of good stories in it. So y'all should come.' He's right – y’all should come.

CollaborationTown steps outside individual, traditional roles in order to unify different styles, opinions, emotions, backgrounds and philosophies into cohesive ensemble-driven pieces of theatre.  All artistic and operating decisions are made by way of a team called the Artistic Core, alumni of Boston University's School of Theatre Arts.

Past productions include Children at Play (The Living Theatre), Let's Go, Townville (at La MaMa E.T.C.), 6969 (at 59E59 Theaters; winner of three Innovative Theatre Awards: Best Ensemble, Best Featured Actress, and Best Actor) The Deepest Play Ever: The Catharsis of Pathos (FringeNYC 2006 Award Winner), They're Just Like Us (nominated for four 2006 Innovative Theatre Awards including Best Original Full-Length Script and Best Production), The Astronomer's Triangle (nominated for four 2005 Innovative Theatre Awards including Best Original Full-Length Script and Best Production), The Trading Floor, This is a Newspaper (FringeNYC 2003 Award Winner), and Dante's Inferno. CollaborationTown has had the honor of being selected for two residencies at Robert Wilson's Watermill Center in Watermill, NY.  Shenanigans Comedy Collective, CollaborationTown's rebellious middle child, performs biting sketch comedy throughout NYC.
