The Treasurer: A Play Reading

Presented by Sun Valley Playwright’s Residency

In partnership with The Argyros and The Community Library

Ida Armstrong is broke, lonely, and fading fast. And she’s spending all of her children’s money, forcing her son to assume the unwanted role of The Treasurer: an arrangement that becomes untenable the more he questions his devotion to her. This darkly funny, sharply intimate portrait chronicles the strained ties between a son and his aging mother, and the hell of a guilty conscience.

MacArthur “Genius” Samuel D. Hunter (The Whale) leads a conversation with Sun Valley Playwright’s Residency’s 2024-2025 Resident Playwright Max Posner. The Q&A will be followed by a reading of Posner’s hit Off Broadway play, The Treasurer, featuring David Janeski (Gruesome Playground Injuries), Colorado Theatre Guild’s Lifetime Achievement Award winner Billie McBride (Torch Song Trilogy), Shonda Royall (Clyde’s), and Obie Award winner & Tony Award nominee Jeremy Shamos (Here We Are; Clybourne Park).

Written and Directed by Max Posner
