The House in Scarsdale is Dan O’Brien’s autobiographical story of desperately trying to uncover the truth about his f*cked-up family. With a history of twisted secrets, alcohol, and mental health issues, none of them are even speaking except when they’re suing each other. The play is a highly poetic, spare, theatrical journey in which two actors embody the whole family in an exploration of the deep need we all have to reconcile the family we want with the one we have. Read by the playwright and Alex Draper.

The Theatre senior reception is being held in conjunction with the Dance reception at 4:30pm in MCA 232.
