Synopsis

When an aimless former rock musician finds himself broke with nowhere to go, he’s forced to move in with his son in his cramped New York City apartment.

As they try to forge a new existence together, an unusual money-making scheme further complicates their lives and loves.

A dramedy about the people we choose to let in, and the parts of ourselves we refuse to live with.

Press Reviews

"Offers a compelling snapshot of five people whose lives intersect via one New York City apartment…Kavner’s play avoids burying the audience in exposition, instead deftly sketching and suggesting lives, past and present… A play rich with repressed and concealed emotions and secrets…a funny and affecting new play."
