HAPPYOUTH is a new dark comedy by Nicholas Hulstine. Ryan, a procrastinating writer, and Jake, an ice cream peddling burnout actor, conspire to sell drugs with Frank, a coked up birthday clown, to pay for their Harlem basement bachelor pad. But when they discover the drugs are stolen property, the anti-heroes find themselves caught in a frenzied standoff with a calculating gun for hire. This Off-Off Broadway premiere takes an energetic jab at the cost of making new art in the New York City.
