Dream House

In the throes of her Inner Clown, trying to keep her red nose intact, Elizabeth calls up her six sisters, all named Elizabeth "the Developer, the Plumber, the Dreamer, the Inspector, the Gambler, the Slut" to help build a workable identity out of mirrors, fantasy, and PVC plumbing. Problem is, she doesn't have any sisters, and they're barely on speaking terms.

It's funny, dark, weird, intense and, yes, actually hopeful. It's about all of us with multiple identities that haven't been clinically diagnosed but that spur even the sanest of us to astonishing internal juggling acts.

Elizabeth Fuller is co-director of The Independent Eye and has played more than 2,000 touring performances throughout the US in its 32 seasons. Also composer of the music score for DREAM HOUSE, Fuller was twice winner of Philadelphia's Barrymore Award for theatre music. With her partner Conrad Bishop, Fuller was twice recipient of playwriting fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts. The duo's plays have been produced by Mark Taper Forum, Actors Theatre of Louisville, Circle Repertory and many other theatres, as well as by their own ensemble. For four years they produced the public radio series "Hitchhiking off the Map" on KPFA and other Northern California stations.

Clowns are weird, so adults only, please.
