The House of Yes

It's Thanksgiving Day, 20 years after the JFK assassination, and the hurricane raging outside is outdone only by the storm brewing inside the Pascals' affluent home. Marty has brought home a fiancée, and his twin sister, Jackie-O, isn't pleased.

She enlists younger brother, Anthony, to divide and conquer, as Mama prepares to "baste the turkey and hide the kitchen knives"
With the power out and the alcohol flowing, the family's ...obsession with the Kennedy Assassination and Jackie's even greater obsession with Marty are played out in a haunting and dangerous game.

In her author's notes on "The House of Yes," Playwright Wendy MacLeod shares, "The play started with a particular house, a house I saw in an elegant suburb of Washington, D.C. There was just something about this chic, moneyed house that made me want in. And Lesly begins the play wanting in. The title came from a graffiti I saw written on a bathroom wall: 'We are living in a house of yes.' And that made me think about Edgar Allan Poe and pornography and mostly about amorality. The play is about people who have never been said no to."

The show is directed by Ray Rhoads, and features Gabrielle Lewis, Jonathan Browning, Josh Austin, Kelly Schmehl, and Kathy Newville.

The House of Yes is playing at Reading Community Players located at 403 N. 11th Street, Reading, PA.
