ABOUT THE PLAY

The Whitakers share a cramped life in modern-day suburbia. As Rick prepares for his annual trek to Alaska, wife Sheila keeps quiet about Rick’s secret until the unforgivable happens.

Daughter Missy supports the family on convenience store paychecks, while Barbara dreams of adulting with boyfriend Jimmy. But it all comes to a halt when narcissism breeds disaster. It’s a hopeless situation where boundaries are murky, and cruelty is family fun.

Exciting times in Mexico City for Telling Humans founding member Will C. Bietsch!
