Hatchford Hotel

Production History

Hatchford Hotel, in its first iteration, was staged as a workshop at Vermont Comedy Club to a sold-out room in 2022. After getting a standing ovation, the show was booked for a second show later in the year.

With two successful shows behind them, playwrights Adam Rabin and Greg Skillman took all of the excellent audience responses and feedback to heart and rewrote the show from the ground up with new showstoppers, stronger jokes, and a more exciting and focused story.

In March of 2024, Hatchford Hotel was staged in a radioplay-style show with live accompaniment at Off Center for the Dramatic Arts. The production sold out all four performances.

Again taking what they learned from the March 2024 shows, Rabin and Skillman rewrote the show into an even tighter, funnier, and more energetic show that they look forward to producing.

About the Authors

Songwriter and musician Adam Rabin has performed with progressive rock band Elephants of Scotland at festivals and shows in the US, Canada, and Great Britain. Adam’s theater work includes lyrics and music for New York City and Hollywood, Florida productions of The Piano That Jack Filled, Wilder & Wilder, and Prince Trevor Amongst The Elephants.

Greg Skillman studied theater and literature at Warren Wilson College, where he directed The Zoo Story and was an active member of the Swannanoa Free Theater. Outside of the rehearsal room, he played guitar and bass in several bands—many alongside longtime collaborator and friend Adam—exploring everything from garage rock to prog rock. Whether onstage or on a stage of a different sort, Greg brings the same curiosity, edge, and creative chaos to every project he touches.
