How To, by Rachel Basch
Directed by Sherry Bonder

A family struggles with the tension between the emptiness of unfulfilled dreams and the relentless hope of the next generation. At a moment of what should be celebration, each family member is forced to confront the flaws in their life choices. This complex play examines both sides of the American Dream; infinite creative possibilities and the monetizing of self worth.
