Overview

Two Latinx sisters are appearing on an HGTV-style reality show to sell their family home, hoping to capitalize on the gentrification in their “changing neighborhood.” As they perform for the camera the show starts to slip into the surreal: one sister grapples with turmoil in the family’s ancestral past and the other learns how much she’s willing to sacrifice for the family’s future. DREAM HOU$E, which earned both the Kendeda Award and Steinberg Playwriting Award in 2021, is a crowd-pleasing comedy that asks: What is the cultural cost of progress in America? And is cashing in always selling out?
