FAIRVIEW

Winner of the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Fairview will make its Los Angeles Premiere on Rogue Machine’s MainStage.
At the Frasier household, preparations for Grandma’s birthday party are underway. Beverly is holding on to her sanity by a thread to make sure this party is perfect, but her sister can’t be bothered to help, her husband doesn’t seem to listen, her brother is MIA, her daughter is a teenager, and maybe nothing is what it seems in the first place.
Produced by Chisom Okoye, Susan Lewis and Guillermo Cienfuegos

— The New Yorker
