Details

A 2015 Pulitzer Prize winner, Between Riverside and Crazy tells the story of Walter “Pops” Washington, a retired NYPD officer and recent widower fighting to keep his rent-stabilized apartment on Riverside Drive. As pressures mount from City Hall, the Church, and his own troubled son Junior, Pops navigates a tangle of bureaucracy, betrayal, and buried secrets.

“It's messy, it's filthy and it's righteous!” said director Patrick White, who previously helmed Harbinger's production of Guirgis’s The Motherf**ker with the Hat* in 2023. “I loved the fight for respect, fairness and justice against an unyielding society and system regardless of the morally compromised character of the protagonist.”

The cast features Hasson Harris Wilcher as Pops, J.R. Richards as Junior, Elizabeth Wellspeak as Detective O'Connor, Jared Lewis-Holliday as Oswaldo, Jenny Forson as Lulu, J. Hunter as Caro, and Sadrina Renee as Church Lady.
