Winner of the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Play, the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off-Broadway Play, the John Gassner Award for Best New American Play, Scott McPherson’s

tender and funny play is about family, love, resentment, healing, dying and living.

Marvin’s Room follows estranged sisters Lee and Bessie, who have never seen eye to eye, as they confront a family crisis.  At its heart, Marvin’s Room asks, ‘What good can we do with the time, however much or little it is, that we have left before our inevitable fate arrives?’

Directed by Dr. Victoria Spangler.  Best suited for ages 12 and up.
