    Press Quotes

    “Susan and Roger, a cohabitating couple with questions about the future of their relationship, have come to visit Susan’s younger brother. Tommy, an impulsive recovering drug addict, and his companion Sarah, an older woman and no-nonsense believer in the restorative powers of the natural life … Susan and Roger’s bodies have been inhabited by Dee and Enn, a loving extraterrestrial couple whose exploration of the universe has temporarily trapped them on Earth … The earthly characters switch back and forth between personas as each one becomes attracted to the other, and they learn something about caring for each other from the examples of Dee and Enn before everything is sorted out.” —Michael Sander, Drama-Logue

Over the next 30 years, he makes a home and raises a family in this tiny town. THE IMMIGRANT is the story of a young Russian-Jewish couple and the local couple that take them in, as religion meets religion, culture meets culture, fear meets fear, and love meets love. This is the true story of Haskell Harelik, “the Immigrant.”

    Matt Lyle

    Play Description

    Three couples gather on the back deck of a very modest suburban home for a mid-summer barbecue where the hosts, Mike and Deb, struggle with feelings of inadequacy about their home decor, their clothes, their careers, their culinary skills, and pretty much everything else. Ash is a successful yuppy with impeccable taste but annoys the hell out of his wife, Lulu, who likes to get very drunk, very quickly. Win mistakes his obnoxious confidence for charm, and his new girlfriend, Glory, is just too young and beautiful to be tolerated by other women. Throughout the first act feelings are hurt over the difference between “Organic” and “All Natural” beef, who’s pregnant and who’s just put on a little weight, and a nearly crippling iPhone addiction. The superficial, neuroses-laden interpersonal squabbles bubble over to a flash of inept violence when Win makes what we learn is just one in a series of passes at Deb. As the act closes, the group discovers that the rest of the world has been literally falling apart during their little, terrible barbecue. Act Two takes place on the same deck for another barbecue to celebrate their one-year post-apocalypsiversary. In a year where the only way to measure success is survival, roles have reversed, and we explore how each character’s basic nature has allowed them to adapt and thrive or has pushed them to the brink of extinction.

Eleanor, a worldly woman, is skeptical of the ghost’s existence, but spinsterish Lolly claims he visits her at night, and they’ve fallen in love. Has Lolly, Eleanor wonders, lost her mind? Moreover, how could the ghost possibly prefer Lolly to her? As the ghost continues his visitations, his reasons for the haunting are gradually revealed, and not only Lolly but even Eleanor and Mr Butts begin to fall under his spell, the surprising consequences of which may just land all three of them in jail in this delightful and otherworldly romantic comedy.
