Playwrights have been trying to write “Family plays” for a long time, too. And typically these plays try to answer endlessly complicated questions of blood, duty, inheritance and responsibility. They try to answer the question, “Can things really change?” People have been trying nobly for years and years to have plays solve in two hours what hasn’t been solved in many lifetimes. This has to stop. In Eno's signature, inimitable style, The Open House offers a wildly subversive and darkly hilarious take on the archetypal family drama.

Suddenly he is approached by a stranger named Jerry, who makes his entrance with the announcement “I’ve been to the zoo!” Jerry is intent on claiming the bench for himself, and proceeds to probe deep into Peter’s life leading them closer and closer to a deadly confrontation. Directed by: Brett Willis Producer/Actor: Joshua Ackermann Producer/Actor: Carlen Escarraga Production Designer: Brett Willis Stage Manager: Natalie Collins https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a451548a8b2b08cdc7e2d84/1579841192848-WUDS3IM66H65JW9DAMZ9/image-asset.jpeg Zoo Story At times electrifying, Escarraga is menacing, creepy and always seemingly in motion, managing to effectively bring this odd madman to life. Under Brett Willis’s direction there is a wonderful subtly to how both actors handle this additional subtext in Albee’s play. - Mark Robins, Vancouver Presents https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a451548a8b2b08cdc7e2d84/1579840837811-90R7VW7ZTQ6Q4J3802F6/FB_IMG_1579398518589.jpg Zoo Story https://www.sticksandstonestheatre.com/this-is-our-youth daily 0.75 2020-01-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a451548a8b2b08cdc7e2d84/1579842084739-XGHR5NYCYOHO6CEOC7AC/15419534_210751006041637_8254078349791860917_o.jpg This Is Our Youth While a solid ensemble, it is Carlen Escarraga as the social misfit Warren who gives the star turn here. While this sad character could easily become one-dimensional, Escarraga gives him such depth it is difficult not to root for him even as he is the master of his own fate. A solid first outing by one of our city’s newest independent theatre companies. -Mark Robins, Vancouver Presents https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a451548a8b2b08cdc7e2d84/1579842034050-6Z7RE8GJUATH6DLUDXES/ThisYouthposter.png This Is Our Youth THIS IS OUR YOUTH follows forty-eight hours of three very lost young souls in the big city at the dawn of the Reagan Era: Warren Straub, a dejected nineteen-year-old who steals fifteen thousand dollars from his abusive lingerie-tycoon father; Dennis Ziegler, the charismatic domineering drug-dealing friend who helps him put the money to good use; and Jessica Goldman, the anxiously insightful young woman Warren yearns for. Funny, painful, and compassionate, THIS IS OUR YOUTH is a living snapshot of the confusing moment between adolescence and adulthood.
