One of the most powerful stage experiences of recent years, this musical mines the humor and pathos of a suburban family grappling with mental illness. Mom, Diana, wakes up and starts making sandwiches one morning for her husband, her 16 year-old daughter, and soon-to-be 18 year-old son...a lot of sandwiches...a kitchen full of sandwiches. As Diana embarks on yet another round of treatment, family secrets emerge that force audiences to question the very idea of normal. This brilliant theatrical experience will leave you on the edge of your seat.
