The Daisy Foote-penned drama began previews Oct. 19 after being developed by the Cherry Lane studio and presented at Vassar over the summer. Evan Yionoulis directs. The play "follows a New England family's ups and downs after the death of their father," according to the producers. "Frances Conroy wonders how she ended up here. Her mother is driving her crazy. Her aunt is stalking a married man. Her brother is in prison. She dreams of Bhutan but can barely find the kitchen door."

The cast includes Tasha Lawrence, Sarah Lord, Amy Redford and Jedadiah Schultz.
