Sarah Einspanier's House Plant officially opens February 7 as at New York Theatre Workshop's 4th Street Theatre as part of the Next Door programming. The new play, directed by Jaki Bradley, looks at what it means to make do, make rent, and make “art.”
In House Plant, which began performances February 5, two rivals turned roommates unearth common ground in rejection, rootlessness, and retreat.
The cast is made up of Younger's Molly Bernard, Ugo Chukwu (What to Send Up When It Goes Down), Deepali Gupta (I Love You Stranger), and Emma Ramos (New Amsterdam).
