Mendocino Theatre Company presents Will Eno's Comedy THE OPEN HOUSE
The Mendocino Theatre Company continues its 40th Anniversary season with The Open House, Will Eno's delightfully anarchic "comedy of discomfort", opening July 27th.
Directed by Bay Area actor and director Kerel Rennacker (who recently appeared in the company's production of Or,) the production features a dream team of five of MTC's most beloved actors. Together again are the inimitable Bob Cohen (Father) and Sandra Hawthorne (Mother), who first appeared together in MTC's production of George Bernard Shaw's Candida in 1977. Rounding out the talented cast are Dan Kozloff (Uncle), Raven Deerwater (Son), and Nicole Traber (Daughter).
Playwright Will Eno, who was described by the New York Times as "a Samuel Beckett for the Jon Stewart generation," has created a witty, inventive, and darkly humorous comedy of dysfunctional family dynamics in which a house remains stable, while its inhabitants morph radically. What appears at appears, at first glance, to be just another "living room" play turns out to be something very different, indeed.
The Open House will be performed on the Mendocino Theatre Company's Helen Schoeni stage at 45200 Little Lake Street in Mendocino July 27th through September 3rd, 2017. The gala opening night, which features Roederer bubbly and a delicious catered spread, will be held on July 29th. Tickets and information are available by phoning 707-937-4477 or by going to the theatre's website, mendocinotheatre.org.
