    I LOVE this play. The characters are both over the top and very real -- I was invested in them and their lives as if they were my next door neighbors. I think I annoyed the people seated near me in the theater because I laughed SO much. Love it.

    A sure to be classic comedy about the "American Dream" and what it means to be family.

    In the midst of struggle, a family must share space and survive in a relatable comedy that lands home. Well done.

    InterAct presented THE FOLKS AT HOME as part of our 2017 Core Playwrights Weekend. Eric's signature style is present in spades here: whip-smart dialogue guiding us through a complicated dissection of our world's most pressing questions--in this case, the modern tensions of gentrification, class, and familial responsibility on the American Dream. We were thrilled to participate in the advancement of this piece.

    I can’t remember the last play that made me laugh so hard that I cried, and also made me think so deeply. The writer achieves a brilliant balance challenging expectations around the ways we think about gentrification, aging, and familial responsibility - and - entertaining us with his wit and the loving fallibility of his characters. I know this play is still in-process but I cannot wait to see the final draft and full production. Can I buy tickets now? Someone take my money, please.
