PROJECT
Clos(in)g is a new drama by ALT Playwright-in-Residence Megan Benjamin Bennett, making its world premiere in January 2027.
When the close-knit residents of an apartment building gather to mourn their beloved matriarch, Angela Martin, they receive devastating news: their building has been sold, and the new owners are demanding a 200% rent increase.
Faced with an impossible choice to pay up or move out, the residents must confront what it means to lose not just their homes, but the community they’ve built together. Blending humor and heartbreak, Clos(in)g explores family, identity, belonging, and the relationships that sustain us in times of uncertainty.
