After successfully staging previous years in the kitchen, bathroom, attic, master bedroom, garage, back porch, and dining room, Gaslight has chosen to book end the PLAYROOM series in the heart of every home: the living room. The series, created by playwright and former artistic director/board member Matthew S. Hinton, uses the same set design to inspire playwrights to craft individual one-acts around the same space. The stories are showcased between small vignettes that tie the series together to create an evening of short form, repertory theatre. While all plays are placed in the same house, each are unique. Since its debut in 2012, the series has included 16 of the region’s most talented playwrights, 98 cast members and directors, and 69 one acts.

**This series is not suitable for children.**
