The Dark at the Top of the Stairs: After losing his job as a traveling salesman for a harness manufacturer, Rubin Flood finds himself pulled in several directions at once�looking for new employment while trying to deal at once with a wife who shuns intimacy and mistakes his joblessness for stinginess; a shy teenage daughter preparing for her first dance; and an introverted son who runs to his mother instead of confronting local bullies.

Directed by Jack Cummings III, The Dark at the Top of the Stairs features Patrick Boll, Donna Lynne Champlin, Paul Iacono, Liz Mamana, Colby Minifie, Michele Pawk, Jay Potter, Jack Tartaglia, and Matt Yeager.

Set design by Sandra Goldmark, with costumes by Shana Albery, lighting by R. Lee Kennedy and sound by Seth Guterman.
