ABOUT ORCHIS

Meet the Orkidds: Secluded on Sea Island, they're three twenty-something siblings who refuse to grow up. With inheritance woes, a troublesome neighbor, and a fridge full of junk food-- decorum flies straight out the window. It's a Southern Gothic play for the Social Networking generation.
