The Wallis family’s annual lake house reunion is anything but serene. Sue’s living in her van after a breakup, Gail’s chasing perfection through fasting and fillers, Ray’s drowning retirement woes in Pickleball and booze, and Fern’s obsession with saving the planet may be masking a mental decline. This sharp dramedy explores the messy, hilarious, and heartfelt ties that bind—and sometimes strangle—a family.
Catherine Burg is thrilled to be working with RTB again after last year’s readings of River of Possession(s).

Cate’s work has also been produced by Omaha Magic Theatre, Wisconsin Public Radio, and Seattle’s Stone Soup Theatre.
