Directed by Saheem Ali (Sugar in Our Wounds), Off-Broadway's The New Englanders finds a teenage daughter and her two dads each searching for happiness.
Eisa wants to be the next Lauryn Hill and is struggling to break free of the sleepy New England town where she feels trapped. One father is trying to re-connect with an old love; the other is clinging to the path he always believed would be their future.
