The Treasurer

The Argyros

Sun Valley Playwright's Residency in partnership with The Argyros & The Community Library presents THE TREASURER A Play Reading Written & Directed by Max Posner Featuring David Janeski, Billie McBride, Shonda Royall, and Jeremy Shamos MacArthur “Genius” and Idaho native Samuel D. Hunter (The Whale; A Case for the Existence of God) leads a conversation with Sun Valley Playwright's Residency's 2024-2025 Resident Playwright Max Posner followed by a reading of Posner’s hit Off Broadway play, The Treasurer, featuring Wood River Valley-based David Janeski (Gruesome Playground Injuries), Colorado Theatre Guild’s Lifetime Achievement Award Winner Billie McBride (Torch Song Trilogy), Shonda Royall (Clyde’s at Boise Contemporary Theater), and Obie Award Winner and Tony Award nominee Jeremy Shamos (Here We Are; Clybourne Park). 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.

Ernest Hemingway’s Best Friend: Introducing General Buck Lanham

The Community Library

Writers-in-Residence at the Hemingway House, Greer Rising and Eileen Martin will discuss private letters from U.S. Army General Buck Lanham to Greer’s family, and what they tell us about Ernest Hemingway and his art. Lanham and Hemingway sealed their friendship on World War II battlefields and remained friends until Hemingway’s death in 1961. The personal collection illuminates Lanham’s life and helps decipher coded references that he and Hemingway shared. The Lanhams and the Risings corresponded for much of the 20th century, and Hemingway and Lanham wrote each other at least twice a month for 17 years - hundreds of letters. The presentation will focus on Hemingway and Lanham as intellectual equals, with themes of love, war and literature underpinning their friendship. Lanham’s influence on Hemingway’s writing is stronger than previously known: the writer modeled the protagonist in his novel Across the River and Into the Trees after Lanham’s life, and borrowed from Lanham’s volatile marriage for his novel The Garden of Eden, published in 1986. Two of Hemingway’s posthumously-published short stories mention Buck Lanham and relate battlefield anecdotes from time with Lanham’s unit. Greer and Eileen also discovered an unpublished Hemingway war poem, written when the two men were together, ...
