What Stays

Dorothy has two days to finish packing up the family home and move to a new condo, so she’s called in her adult children to help with the task. When several unexpected visitors show up as well, the job becomes even more complicated. What they don’t know is that in the course of their visit, she plans to reveal to them something that she’s kept hidden for decades. What she doesn’t know is that nearly everyone in the house has secrets of their own. Ultimately, the family will discover the cost of hiding the truth and the cost of telling it. Together they’ll decide what stays with them and what will be left behind.

 

This heartwarming comedy, written by two members of Dreamcatcher’s ensemble, was inspired by stories from the company’s own lives and created with the members in mind. Over the last several years, the Dreamcatcher ensemble has workshopped the play and prepared it for this world premiere production.
