Oct. 27 & 28, Nov. 1, 2, 3, & 4 at 7:30 p.m. Matinee Nov. 4 at 2 p.m.

In Lauren Yee’s whimsical comedy with a heart, a lost young woman moves in with her boyfriend expecting to find domestic bliss — but before she does, she must contend with her magical new home. We learn the tale of the house’s previous inhabitants, an old hat-maker and his long-suffering wife, in a surreal journey between past and present, examining the important stuff of life: identity, love, belonging, and the meaning of home.
