Unique and interactive, this autobiographical sketch of playwright Lisa Kron turns audience members into cast members and uses the theater itself as its stage. According to Pittsburgh Owl Scribe’s review by David Zuchowski,“You’ll probably find yourself on the edge of your chair trying to keep up with the shenanigans of the six character cast and the author’s playful penchant for violating all the rules of chronology, place and dimension.” Join the laughter as we poke fun at the idiosyncrasies of the Ann Kron household, where allergies seem to rule.

Be sure to enter the theater stage area by ‘walking’ through the red curtains.  Come early and enjoy offerings from the Carnegie Coffee Company before the show. After strolling through our theater, you will understand why our next production, Well , is perfect for a theater like ours.  The play’s unique structure, both narrative and interactive at the same time, lends itself to our playhouse.
