Having Hope at Home

By David S. Craig

Directed by Andrew North

JANUARY 26-FEBRUARY 13, 2011

For Carolyn Bingham, there's a lot riding on tonight's family dinner. She wants to patch things up with her perpetually disapproving parents. She wants peace between the man she loves and her ornery grandfather. She wants a perfectly cooked turkey. Carolyn is determined to make an impressive domestic showing, and she's not going to let the discomforts of pregnancy get in her way.

But when the family gathers in Carolyn's dilapidated farmhouse, all of the old tensions and hurts gather with them. It isn't long before the awkward moments and familiar arguments begin to pile up. Even the turkey won't cooperate. And as if that isn't enough, those pains Carolyn has been feeling all evening are getting stronger ... and stronger ...

Hilarious and moving, Having Hope at Home is all about the pleasure, pain, and redemptive power of family. The Binghams will never forget this evening. Neither will you.
