A poetic, meditative exploration of love, life, and the complexities of relationships. The play follows a married couple as they face the bittersweet reality of growing apart while deciding if they should stay together. Their daughter, meanwhile, navigates her own journey of love as she falls for Charley, the granddaughter of the town historian, whose connections to the town’s past intertwines with the present. As each character grapples with letting go of old ties and embracing new ones, Glen Oaks itself—rich with history, secrets, and beauty—becomes a silent witness to their emotional transformations. Through expressionistic and dreamlike moments, the play delves into themes of memory, belonging, brutality, and the ever-shifting nature of love.

Secrets simmer in the suburbs when a neighborhood gathering takes a turn into the past.

The Studio presents staged readings of selected past First Look plays by our Studio playwrights, reimagined and reworked with your input. Seven plays will be presented after revisions have been made based on the feedback the playwright received from the First Look audience. As always, participation is FREE (or pay what you can) and you can tell us what you think and feel about the revised plays.
