This musical is really about a man finding himself and his place in the world far later in life than maybe he had planned to. I really want this production to be a celebration of that journey to self-acceptance and self-actualization — no matter what time of our lives we’re at, we deserve to feel like we belong.

An affectionate look at polyamory and the modern family. Emerson’s dating Sawyer, who’s married to Monty, who’s dating Ray, who’s also dating Avery, who’s married to Emerson. And their friend Keegan lives with them too. This is a show about a family — Venn House, six people who chose one another. Sure, sometimes poly people’s problems are about relationships. Sometimes they’re about jobs, or money, or haunted antiques. And sometimes family is even more complicated than it seems.

Meet an eccentric bookstore owner who brings history to life. She tells the stories of people and their relationships, some of which may surprise you. Come meet women from the past, some famous (like Harriet Tubman or Sojourner Truth), others not so much, but all important because they lived. Each weekend is a new chapter. Come for one, two or all three, you’ll see something different each chapter. So take a journey and find out that history doesn’t have to be a mystery.
