Love At Home - What Other People Are Saying

We brought our children, ages 16, 14, and 8. We felt it was an important piece of theater for them to experience. While the themes and some of the language are not “kid friendly”, it opened up meaningful dialogue for us, especially with our teenage son. We welcomed the opportunity it prompted to discuss what it means to struggle with who you are, how to truly love others, how to be accepting even when you don’t agree with each other.

As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons), I appreciated the end message: loving others is what Christ always meant for us to do. The play showcases a spectrum of behavior seen in any faith, from acceptance to harsh criticism. I also appreciated that in the mother, the audience sees a woman who struggles with her own faith, and how it should apply to her behavior and heart.

This was a moving performance. Each character was well played and very believable. Take the opportunity to see it while you can! You will be pondering its messages for a long time afterward.

I saw one of the first productions of Love at Home and found it to be both intense and hilarious. You’ll be laughing one scene and crying the next. All of the characters were very well thought out. I especially loved seeing how the relationship between the two sisters evolved throughout the play. Well worth your Friday or Saturday night

I just saw this in the New York Fringe Festival and it was amazing. The cast is strong and the script contains some of the most real dialogue I’ve ever heard. There is either something funny, warming, or thought provoking in every scene. The roles of the sisters, Diana (Tygar Hicks) and Becca (Cat Cabral) couldn’t have been better cast. Ms. Hicks superbly shows the emotional turmoil of a young lesbian facing the ridicule of a strict religious society and family, while Ms. Cabral embodies the power of a young woman growing from naivety and misplaced zeal to understanding, love, and acceptance. The supporting cast, namely Denise Hungerford as the mother and Richard Webb as the father, bring a wonderful sense of humor and heartache as they struggle to understand their children, each other, and the changing world around them.
For everyone in the San Francisco area, see this play! It is an important piece of theater that neither judges nor shines too brightly on either side of the issue, yet fairly illuminates the whole perspective. Mary Matoula Webb’s Love at Home is a play that speaks to the misunderstood in all of us, showing us that every relationship worth fighting for requires time, understanding, and, of course, love
