Get Off of Me – Staged Reading

  • Thursday, January 23 at 7 p.m.
  • Rosenthal Shelterhouse Theatre 

"The old adage – “What happens in this house, stays in this house” – is blown to hell when secrets and sibling rivalry erupts. It’s 2005 in Woodlawn, Ohio. In a house of strong-willed women, one hides behind men and a bottle, as another seeks solace behind a desk and college degrees. A mother has lost all control, while the grandmother wields a secret weapon hidden in a shoe box to keep everyone and everything in order! Three generations of functioning dysfunctionals are thrust into chaos when the light of exposure is cast upon a horrifying truth.

Tickets: $10 with all proceeds going to the artist

About Resident Artists & Incubator Partners 

New Work Commissions & Playreadings

Among the more than 80 world premieres produced since the Playhouse’s founding in 1960 are plays that have been commissioned. Since 2006, our mission to develop new stories and contribute to the American theatre canon has expanded thanks to the Jerome Fey Endowment for New Plays. Additionally, the Playhouse invites nationally recognized playwrights the opportunity to workshop or present a staged reading of a work in progress.

Rental Performances

Theatres and special event spaces in the Playhouse are available to rent for a variety of performances, receptions, and meetings.
