About the Show

The Wrong House presents this world premiere dark comedy about nostalgia, friendship, and grief.

It's been 10 years since high school, so it's probably about time to get the gang back together at their old stomping grounds, right? But as the liquor flows and the weather goes from bad to worse, secrets start to unravel and everyone is forced to confront a shared trauma from their past that most would rather forget.

Disappointing, Excruciating, Indulgent, Insipid

See it if A show about a reunion some 10 years later. A story about the worry of gun violence. If dont want a consistent performance.

Don't see it if First act was terrible, second act was better. You want a good story or good acting

Great acting, Relevant, Thought-provoking, Absorbing, Intense

See it if you enjoy new work, this one written by the cast, that sheds current light on millennials that represents well, complemented with good sound

Don't see it if you are intolerant of youthful craziness or are bothered by violence. A slow start with a silly game that should be condensed would help.

Absorbing, Ambitious, Intelligent, Intense

See it if Great concept. Always love an intimate space. Timely story. Very good acting Stella Adler Studio seems to have done the job (based on Bios)

Don't see it if Several times the voices were lost despite the small space. Credit for the set was not noted at all

Great staging, Intelligent

See it if You want to see a drama that deals with a very sad and messed up situation. You do get some light moments and well written comedy

Don't see it if You need to root for a good person. There are no good characters in this play Read more

Absorbing, Great acting, Intelligent, Slow, Intense

See it if you find the angst of young adults who h ave experienced a major trauma interesting; you are not upset by references which might upset.

Don't see it if You have experience a major trauma relating to gun violence; you have no patience for hight school nonsense games as vehicle driving a plot Read more

Uneven, Intense, Relevant, Thought-provoking, Edgy

See it if you are or care about millennials; are interested in the repercussions of a tragedy that somewhat explains the reactions of the characters.

Don't see it if you expect a show that is consistent in tone & believability. The 1st act spends far too much time on a game that is played to be effective. Read more

Great potential, Desperately needs an editor

See it if you can sit through a first act that doesn't belong on stage. The second act is a wonderful reward.

Don't see it if An incredibly bad first act will be too hard for you to sit through Read more

Relevant, Engaging, Thought-provoking

See it if you want an ensemble piece dealing with a major event in their lives and the effects.

Don't see it if Gun violence, school violence or group traumas are triggers. The acting is good, but something is missing to make it great.

“Simply put, just a really great production...’36 Juniper’ is an unexpected and riveting theatrical gem. It is over an hour of emotional and psychological suspense that builds and builds until everyone is mentally exhausted...An incredibly well thought-out plot with characters whose development is so carefully crafted...This production is an unbelievable display of unbridled emotion, rubbed raw by the truths that are soon uncovered...A stellar cast.”
