The Hungry Hearts tour is back in the Playhouse, bringing Romeo and Juliet, The Two Gentlemen of Verona, and Our Town back to the Blackfriars stage and adding the time-traveling adventure Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet). They’ve been on the road since September, with a respite back home for the Holiday Season.

Here are some of the highlights of this year’s tour:

• The Hungry Hearts tour visited 47 cities in 19 states, reaching over 25,000 people.
• In those 47 cities, the tour performed 75 shows, conducted 69 workshops, and held 15 talkbacks.
• In 2016-2017, the tour had more two-show days than ever!
• We had five new venues and 38 repeat venues, and this was our third year in a row with 70+ shows.
• Smallest town Hungry Hearts performed in: Clarksville, Texas, population 3100
• Largest city Hungry Hearts performed in: New York City, population 8 million
• The largest house the troupe performed for was at the University of Buffalo, with an audience of 1400 high school students.
• The Hungry Hearts truck, fully loaded, weighed 21,000 pounds.
• That truck traveled 18,000 miles (and suffered only one breakdown).
• The troupe did 262 loads of laundry.
• 17 Crabs had their moment in the spotlight! You can catch up on their adventures on Twitter: @ASC_Crab.
