Home ownership is part of the American Dream. But what happens when that dream is no longer affordable?
When a Cleveland school teacher takes on a mortgage she can’t afford, it sets off a surprising and devastating chain of events within the community. In a series of poetic and provocative monologues, DREAM/HOME tells the stories of nine Cleveland residents dealing with the repercussions of the foreclosure crisis, and its impact on their neighborhoods, their families, and their dreams for the future. Timely, human, and ultimately hopeful, the play peels back the layers of the crisis to reveal the complicated and fragile lives underneath– as well as the unexpected connections between residents of an often- divided city.
