Make Believe by Bess Wohl
Directed by Bridget Leak September 10–26, 2026
Four siblings grapple with the omnipresent ghosts of their childhood.
About The Show
Regional Premiere – MainStage
The four Conlee kids have arrived home from grade school, hungry and tired, but their parents are nowhere to be found and the downstairs phone keeps ringing. Thirty years later, the four siblings return to grapple with the childhood ghosts that still haunt their lives. From the writer of Camp Siegfried comes a mystery about the lingering impact of childhood trauma.
Rated: PG-13 for depiction of child abandonment and discussion of addiction and sexual abuse
