Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati
Feb. 8-March 2
[Over-the-Rhine]

Written and directed by Theresa Rebeck

Cast: Kenneth Early as Foster, Maggie Lou Rader as Amelia & David Wohl as Sam

Award-winning playwright Theresa Rebeck (Bad Dates, NBC’s Smash) directs her new hilarious, heartfelt, and human play about a curmudgeonly father, his exasperated daughter, his patient best friend, and life’s messes following its successful Broadway run. Sam doesn’t get out much. Actually, he doesn’t get out at all, opting instead for the safety of his house in the company of his things—his many, many things. But when a notice from the government arrives alerting Sam that he must clean up his property or face eviction, he’s forced to reckon with what’s trash, what’s treasure, and whether we can ever know the difference between the two. After decades of knowing each other, Sam and his companions have no problem being candid with each other, using adult language and touching on some tough topics like PTSD and other mental illnesses, death and suicide, racism, and violence, all while humorously trying to clean up life’s messes.
