Honoring Samuel D. Hunter
In 2010, we introduced our audiences to Samuel D. Hunter with Jack’s Precious Moment Off Broadway. We saw his talent and were ready to invest in his future, as we continue to do with new playwrights each year.
“Once Page 73 produced one of my plays, suddenly I wasn't an unproduced playwright anymore – and that was a really big deal. This unspoken thing happened – suddenly it was OK to put my plays into full production.” - Samuel D. Hunter
Sam’s career has since soared to prestigious awards and nominations. His latest play, Little Bear Ridge Road, opened on Broadway following a critically acclaimed run at Steppenwolf Theatre. Other plays include The Whale (Drama Desk Award, Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Play, GLAAD Media Award, Drama League and Outer Critics Circle nominations for Best Play), A Case for the Existence of God (New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award for Best Play, Hull-Warriner Award), A Bright New Boise (Obie Award, Drama Desk nomination for Best Play), Greater Clements (Drama Desk nomination for Best Play, Outer Critics Circle Honoree), Lewiston/Clarkston (Drama Desk nomination for Best Play), The Few, A Great Wilderness, Rest, Pocatello, The Healing and The Harvest, among others. His screenplay adaptation of The Whale, directed by Darren Aronofsky and starring Brendan Fraser, was nominated for the 2023 BAFTA Award for Best Adapted Screenplay and received two Oscars, including Best Actor. He was also a writer and producer on all four seasons of FX’s Baskets. He is the recipient of a 2014 MacArthur “Genius Grant” Fellowship, a 2012 Whiting Writers Award and an honorary doctorate from the University of Idaho. He holds degrees in playwriting from NYU, The Iowa Playwrights Workshop and Juilliard.
We’re so proud of Samuel and hope you’ll join us in honoring his incredible career.
