ABOUT THE SHOW
What makes a home? What stories might be hiding in its ordinary rooms?
One Room explores the events of this year by looking at our homes as spaces of possibility and creativity. In May, we commissioned 14 of America’s leading playwrights to create short, one person plays that respond to the present moment and explore the questions, “What makes a home? What stories might be hiding in its ordinary rooms?” Writers will be joined by actors and directors from across the country and each play will be recorded to premiere online August 7.
Curtain Time:
August 7 @ 7:30pm (Weston Playhouse YouTube Channel)
Beyond the Fourth Wall pre-show discussion @ 7:00pm (Zoom)
Special Dining Opportunity:
For local viewers, our restaurant partner MKT: Grafton will offer pre-order takeout dinner and beverage options, available for pickup in Weston on the night of the premiere presentation.
