Offscript, American Theatre’s flagship podcast for a number of years, is back as a Facebook Live chat with the magazine’s editors and special guests as well as an audio podcast.
On this episode, we speak to playwright Eliana Pipes and director Laurie Woolery about their production of DreamHou$e, currently playing at Long Wharf Theatre (March 15- April 3) in co-production with Alliance Theatre and Baltimore Center Stage (Apr 21 – May 15). This play tells the story of two Latine sisters who must confront their past and reimagine their future when given the chance to sell their family home on an HGTV-style reality show. The guests discuss the cultural loss associated with gentrification and the importance of family.
