So happy to update on the progress of Home. After several development readings of the play in New York City, the full length dramedy will have it’s first staged reading in the Twin Cities. 

Missed the Boat Theatre in St. Paul, MN will produce and minimally stage the play as a part of their inaugural new works festival.

Directed by Elizabeth Teefy-MacGregor, auditions will happen in early August 2025. 

It’s 2018 in Texas where five siblings traverse a rocky landscape: the caretaking of their elderly mother, Maryrose, who is fighting tooth and nail against the onslaught of Alzheimer’s. Maryrose, a southern matriarch, must now relinquish her long and coveted control as the children make the difficult decision to move her to a memory care facility – and she flatly does not want to go.

The dramedy spans the six months before the passing of Maryrose from summer through Christmastime. Act one occurs in Maryrose’s own home as negotiations are managed, decisions are made, and realities are intensified. Act two takes place in an altogether foreign place, the Home; another paradigm with new helpers, much needed wisdom, unexpected arrivals… and one conversion no one saw coming. Before the passing of Maryrose, what has long been in the dark will explode into a miracle of light. Home contemplates where, and what, “home” really is and if it is ever too late to find it.

Home will open the festival on Thursday, September 18th, 2025 at 7:00pm. For more information check back soon.
