[NEohioPAL] Review of Tiny Houses at The Cleveland Play House

[Laura Kennelly]

Ever want to run away? Leave city stress behind? Chelsea Marcantel’s comic
new play, *Tiny Houses,* at the Cleveland Play House, shows one witty take
on this impulse in a perfectly paced production directed by Laura Kepley.

The set, constructed while we watch in the Outcalt Theatre, consists of a
vacant lot plus a trailer big enough to support a small house. During the
course of the play, the actors (and their assistants) assemble a real tiny
house. This solves a familiar challenge playwrights face — what to have
their characters doing while they deliver the dialogue and actions that
really run the story. Marcantel has come up with one perfect solution, at
least in the hands of Cleveland Play House technical directors Devin Gallo
and Liam Roth; carpenters Cayla DeStefano, Andy Rowland, and Kaleb
Yandrick; and scenic artists Brendan Kelly, Jennifer Hitmar Shankland.
Other members of the design team included Arnulfo Maldonado, Elizabeth Mak
and Joanna Lynne Staub.vv
