All is not well in the Leighton household. Earl is about to realize his lifelong ambition of building a skyscraper when his mind begins to rebel against him. His wife, Liz, is realizing that the life she has come to love is beginning to spiral apart, and she’s not taking it well… or lying down. Their children are another story. Caleb has secret, and a new Ferrari, and a tailor. Rebecca, the journalist, is returning home after being fired. Grey has resigned from life in the wake of a scandal that nearly destroyed his own career. Promises are broken, loyalties are tested, and a lingering intimacy demands to be dealt with. This is a play about the messy architecture of a life, the price of ambition, and ultimately, the sacrifices it takes to build a legacy.

WITH Tony Vaughn, Jen Harper, Betty Hart, Enoch King and Eugene H. Russell IV.

A talkback with the playwright will immediately follow the reading.

FREE to WTP members. $5 donation at door all others.
