Playwrights Horizons presents the New York City premiere of Theresa Rebeck's "reality" television comedy Our House.
Michael Mayer directs the Off-Broadway production featuring Morena Baccarin, Katie Kreisler, Stephen Kunken, Mandy Siegfried, Jeremy Strong, Haynes Thigpen and Christopher Evan Welch.
Our House centers on "a cocksure TV bigshot (Welch) faced with dwindling ratings [who] installs America's favorite news anchor (Baccarin) as host of a popular reality show. Meanwhile, in Middle America, a houseful of roommates bickers over high-stakes real-world conflicts," as show notes reveal. "When reality collides with reality TV, we find ourselves front and center in a drama that holds the nation riveted."
Here is a first look at the production:
