We have news on the quickly approaching The Furniture of Home, our fifth show and second world premiere of this season. Following the outstanding success of Bear Country which broke attendance records for our Octagon stage and brought a new audience to the theatre, this new comedy mixes laughter and tears, fear and romance, youthful exuberance and proven patience to our stage. Addressing the continuing effort to rebuild the Gulf Coast after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, these characters, like the people they mimic, don't give into self pity about the circumstances they've found themselves in. With lively banter and realistic situations, these characters struggle to rebuild and face the choice to stay in the broken community or leave for a new home.
The Costume Shop shared scans of the costume designs for the four characters with me and I'm sharing them now with you. Enjoy!

Dottie, the tough loving grandmother of Kendall, tries to keep the remains of her family together and all their heads above water.
Kendall, clever and intuitive, she ignores the love of her only stable family member and instead favors the imagined love of her absent mother.
Butch returned to Bayou La Batre after the Hurricane and finds his old friend Dottie. Was it the Hurricane that brought him back, or the winds of change?
Boone, a quiet young man and friend to Kendall. These two strike a deal to help each other find the pieces of the past that might help them find a future in the battered Bayou La Batre.
