Dot
By Colman Domingo
A family comedy with heart...and just a touch of heartbreak.
Directed by Jalen Penn
The holidays are always a wild family affair at the Shealy house. But this year, Dotty and her three grown children gather with more than exchanging presents on their minds. As Dotty struggles to hold on to her memory, her children must fight to balance care for their mother and care for themselves. Long-buried frustrations and family dynamics rise to the surface as each member of the family confronts difficult choices about love, responsibility, and letting go. This twisted and hilarious new play grapples unflinchingly with aging parents, midlife crises, and the heart of a West Philly neighborhood. Funny, honest, and deeply moving, Dot offers a compassionate look at family, memory, and change.
