About the Show
What do a flirty former actress, a pouty 16-year-old, a hippie husband and a divorced carpenter have in common? Very little, or at least, that’s what they think, until each enrolls in a six week community acting class. In this hilarious and touching play we catch glimpses of the poignant drama that animates ordinary lives.
Pulitzer Prize Winner Annie Baker’s comedy is a beautifully crafted diorama, a petri dish in which we see, with terrific detail and clarity, the hilarious sadness of a motley quintet.
The Venue
All performances will take place in the intimate performance space at Open Door Studios, a welcoming dance and movement studio on Charlotte’s East Side. Known for offering inclusive adult and youth dance classes and creative workshops taught by professional instructors, Open Door celebrates artistic expression in a supportive, non-intimidating environment. Conveniently located near Plaza-Midwood and surrounded by local bars and restaurants in Eastway Crossing, the venue makes it easy to turn your PaperHouse night into a full evening out.
