Tonight, the Huntington Theatre Company will have a World Premiere of a new play at the Calderwood Pavilion in Boston’s South End. The play is “Sons of the Prophet” by Stephen Karam, writer of “Speech & Debate,” recently produced by Lyric Stage, and also co-writer of “columbinus” a controversial play that was banned at Lexington High School but the Huntington is helping mount the student production in the Calderwood’s blackbox space and the play will be performed this coming weekend.
