Too Much, Too Much, Too Many: Following the death of her husband James (James Rebhorn), Rose (Phyllis Somerville) locks herself in her bedroom for the better part of a year, leaving her daughter Emma (Rebecca Henderson) to care for her through the closed door.

The creative team includes Wilson Chin (Set Design), Jess Goldstein (Costume Design), Zach Blane (Lighting Design) and Broken Chord (Original Music & Sound).
