Librarian Anne Kelly (Mary Franceschi) desperately needs help. There is no romance in her life. She still lives with her aging, ailing mother. Her deadbeat brother (Jon Wax) won’t return her calls or offer much assistance and her ancient family home is falling down around her.
When a younger man (Liam Weeks) with a sweet disposition, a thin resume and a shaky past applies for a job as her mother’s in-home caregiver, Anne finds her quiet life spinning rapidly out of control in ways she had not expected.
Krystle Dellihue is featured as a surprise household guest in this delightful new play written by an Emmy Award-winning writer. Assisted Living is a funny and surprising look at the struggle to discover where our families end, and where we begin. The talented cast also includes Becky Freligh and Neeraja Aravamudan.
“A very compelling new play…and a remarkable proficient mystery that never lets you guess where it is going.” – The Chicago Tribune

The Great God Panwill be performed at Kerrytown following a critically-lauded world premiere at New York City’s Playwrights Horizons Theater. “A haunting new play…not something I’ll soon forget” The New York Times “Whatever the ideal [play] is, it has to look a lot like The Great God Pan” The New York Observer
Jamie (Dave Barker)’s life in Brooklyn seems just fine. He has a beautiful girlfriend (Katie Whitney), a budding journalism career, and parents (Mary Franceschi, Tim Grimes) who live just far enough away.
But, when a childhood acquaintance (Siamak Davarani) visits him with unsettling news, Jamie’s life is thrown in a tailspin, and he finds it difficult to decipher what is real and what is imagined.
Janet Rich plays a former babysitter whose fading recollections may provide a clue to the past and Sofia Fall is a young girl with a serious ailment in this mysterious and deeply compassionate play – the intimate tale of the tricks of one’s memory and of what is lost and won when a hidden truth is unloosed into the world.
“Haunting, deeply affecting, and unfailingly honest. Amy Herzog is one of the bright theatrical lights of her generation!” – The New York Times
