"The Geography Club" is a play by American playwright and author Brent Hartinger, based on his novel "Geography Club".

Production History

"The Geography Club" first premiered in Seattle, WA at the third annual Seattle FringeACT Festival of New Plays in 2004, directed by Ilene Fins. [3rd Annual Seattle FringeACT Festival, [http://kennybailes.com/FringeACT/GeographyClub.htm Geography Club] ] "The Geography Club" starred Brendan Callahan as Russel Middlebrook.

The play was later reworked and premiered again as the opening show at the first annual Northwest Playwright's Alliance Festival of New Plays in 2008. [Nagle, Matt - [http://www.tacomaweekly.com/article/1607/ Festival of Northwest Plays] , "Tacoma Weekly" (14 February 2008)] It was directed by David Domkoski (who applauded the play for being both "good and relevant to what’s happening to kids right now" [Ponnekanti, Rosemary - [http://www.thenewstribune.com/ae/artmuseums/story/287023.html Tacoma’s new Festival of Northwest Plays celebrates local talent] , "The News Tribune" (19 February 2008)] ) and starred Galen Wicks, then a senior at Tacoma School of the Arts, as Russel. One review said that "Geography Club" stands confidently on a cliff-edge of new theater: theater for young people, dealing with hot topics seldom dramatized. Weaving through the ultra-delicate intricacies of teenage identity, the play builds strong themes of friendship and belonging, just as well (or better) as its original form." [Ponnekanti, Rosemary - [http://www.thenewstribune.com/ae/theater/story/289719.html Heartfelt emotion, mixed acting in stage adaptation of “Geography Club”] , "The News Tribune" (21 February 2008)]
