DREAM HOU$E at Ars Nova’s ANT Fest

In June of 2019, we produced our first, full length production of DREAM HOU$E.

Synopsis: DREAM HOU$E follows two Latinx sisters who are selling their family home on an HGTV-style show, hoping to capitalize on the gentrification in their “changing neighborhood.” As they perform for the camera the show starts to slip into the surreal: one sister grapples with turmoil in the family’s ancestral past and the other learns how much she’s willing to sacrifice for the family’s future. What’s the cultural cost of progress in America—and is cashing in always selling out?
