It’s never easy going home, but some families make it nearly impossible. After a 14-year absence, Will returns with his fiancee to find his mother doing laundry 24 hours a day and his father digging holes in the backyard. If that’s not enough to spoil a homecoming, how about that mysterious child riding her bike through the house pretending to be the mailman? Everyone’s got a secret to hide in this slightly scary, slightly campy backwoods comedy.

M2, W3, single set, 1:30 with intermission.
