Jon will be playing the role of Ensign Pulver in New Repertory Theatre’s production of Mister Roberts
September 13-October 3, 2009
A drama by Thomas Heggen and Joshua Logan and directed by Kate Warner. Bravery, honor, grace…and rowdy rebellion. In this 1948 Tony Award-winning classic, a restless crew aboard a cargo vessel idling in the South Pacific is desperately craving some onshore action. When the comedic ensemble clashes with their tyrannical captain, it is Mister Roberts who must bail them out. Thomas Heggen and Joshua Logan’s moving, yet humorous story of an officer, who sacrifices his personal quest for the morale of his crew, has us reflecting on one man’s search for purpose during a time of war.
“I am thrilled for my directing debut with New Rep to be the very first Tony Award-winning play, Mister Roberts. With a talented ensemble cast, it’s a classic; a humorous and moving story that is timeless.” – Kate Warner, Artistic Director
