Synopsis
Bohdi is a life coach.
Jevne is a YouTube artist.
Ollie sells haunted dolls online.
Cath just left her job to move to Oregon with her new boyfriend.
And they are all building a house together in the backyard.
As the dwelling comes together on stage, tensions swell, discoveries are made, and long-buried feelings rise to the surface.
In a world where bigger is always better, can tiny really equal happy?
Or is this a recipe for disaster?
A comedy about finding out who we are when the world shrinks.
Press Reviews
"[An] irresistible, tartly sweet romantic comedy about finding a home. Marcantel takes on the tiny-house movement and uses it as a vehicle to get inside the heads and hearts of young adults whose dreams and schemes, failings and foibles reveal something about all of us. The perfect, timely comedy […] This blueprint is bulletproof." – The Plain Dealer "Immediately endearing and […] absolutely engaging." – The News-Herald "A story of self-discovery that is refreshingly honest, current, and introspective. It's not guaranteed that by the end of the show you'll be ready to live in a tiny house, but you'll love the time you spent watching one being built."
— Cleveland Scene
