HAP HABERMAN
Written by Jim Haberman
On May 27, 2018 exactly one week after the 100th anniversary of Hap Haberman’s birth (as Doc Lee would’ve insisted on phrasing it), well over 100 of family, friends, BHP alumni and new company members gathered at the wonderful Playhouse to memorialize our “Most HAP-py Fella” with a truly delightful 100th birthday celebration that Hap himself missed attending by only a few months. The sweet warm memories of the event will surely last a lifetime.
Harvey, Hap Haberman, Patsy Horst, Jennie May Donnell and Harvey.
Elwood P. Dowd was Hap’s acting tour-de-force and he underplayed Elwood in several BHP productions, quickly becoming an audience favorite.
South Pacific, directed by Hap Haberman, is just one of the many shows Hap directed at the BHP.
