THE HOUSE
3M, 2F, Drama Set in the 1980s. Two brothers come to blows over the sale of their family home. In the 1940s, their mother leaves everything she knew in Puerto Rico to begin a life built on love with their father, a well-meaning but oblivious white soldier from Florida. “The House” examines the Latinx identity—how it has been constructed and depicted in the United States and how it may be truly felt by the individuals who claim it as part of their being. Ultimately, it is a lesson in where we come from and how it may define us, if we only let it.
