Coming Soon

In A Dark, Dark House

by Neil LaBute

Opens March 27 runs through April 12

Twenty years after the summer that set the course for their lives, two estranged brothers reunite to uncover the secrets and lies that have shaped them into the men they've become: One a hand-to-mouth blue collar man struggling to find fulfillment, the other a wealthy attorney caught in the grip of self-destruction.

As the brothers soon, discover old habits are hard to break. Slowly, surgically, each has to learn the truth from the other, while trying to keep their own demons buried.

"In A Dark, Dark House" explores the delicate veil of childhood innocence and what's left behind when that innocence is shattered.Twenty years after the summer that set the course for their lives, two estranged brothers reunite to uncover the secrets and lies that have shaped them into the men they've become: One a hand-to-mouth blue collar man struggling to find fulfillment, the other a wealthy attorney caught in the grip of self-destruction.
