In Paint Me This House of Love, award-winning playwright Chelsea Woolley brings this story of the evolution of love and relationships to life with a script filled with rhythm and an exploration of how we express love, when simply saying the words isn’t enough. And through the shape and cadence of these conversations, audiences follow Cecilia and her father as they attempt to reconcile.
“Especially over the past years, we can all identify with the feeling of disconnection from each other; especially in the realm of family. Expansive time and distance elevate the urgency of reconnecting. Chelsea’s exploration of language and how we communicate with the bonds of family that are trying to be strengthened allows us to take an intimate look at how we express our love for each other when words aren’t enough. How do we heal and move forward when there has been so much distance and loss within our familial relationships? This question is the foundation of this beautiful story; the answers are not linear but the path to finding them may have deeper meanings beyond simply reaching the destination,” reflects Artistic Director Mike Payette.
