Abstract
At the party house, the door is always open.
Fiona finds herself living in her hometown after graduating from college. So she spends her weekends like everyone else: attending late night house parties after all the bars shut down. But no matter how much fun each party might be, Fiona eventually must face her past and her future.
A play about nostalgia and what it feels like to be lost.

Comments
Drawing inspiration from Tennessee Williams' Glass Menagerie, The Velvet Ditch explores memory and youth in this expressionistic theatrical exploration.
