About the Show

Solitary individuals face supernatural challenges across continents in Dave Malloy's new musical.

Susan resides in Latvia, Sadie in New Mexico, and Beckett in Ireland. Each grapples with solitude and the lingering presence of their grandparents, while the specter of the Big Bad Wolf looms at their door.

Three Houses paints a post-pandemic picture, blending magic, madness, and the apocalypse through the lens of an open mic night parable.

Written by Dave Malloy (Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812; Octet).
