Panelists for LCT have recognized the Untethered Theatre Company’s HOUSE OF YES with a 4 star recommendation.

The play is a dark comedy that pries into the lives of the dysfunctional Pascal family. Time seems to have come to a screeching halt for this family with the Kennedy assassination. The story picks up as a Thanksgiving hurricane swirls outside. Jackie-O, beyond obsessed with her namesake, anticipates the homecoming of her brother Marty. But when he arrives with his new fiancé, mayhem ensues.

Panelists described the HOUSE OF YES as “a delightful production of a wicked little play… All five actors did fine work with their eccentric characters, bringing humor and insight into the bizarre twists of Wendy MacLeod’s brilliant dark comedy.”

HOUSE OF YES continues through December 7th. Tickets can be purchased at www.untetheredtheaterco.com.

League of Cincinnati Theatre panelists evaluate productions on a 5 star scale and recommend shows at either a 4 star or 5 star level. Nominations for LCT awards will be determined and announced at the end of the season and winners awarded at the annual LCT gala in the spring.

HOUSE OF YES Quick-Review

HOUSE OF YES presented by Untethered Theater Company through Dec. 7.

The set for HOUSE OF YES was smart and used the space well.  Solid direction by Leah Strasser kept the pacing up and looked natural in the small space. Christine Dye’s gives a fine performance as family matron Mrs. Pascal. Nice work by the rest of the cast, although I felt that some aspects of the Pascal children’s personalities weren’t quite resolved yet.

My rating: 3.5 out of 5
