Three Houses
(DISCLAIMER! This is a Dave Malloy fansite. His real website is here)
Susan has fled to Latvia. Sadie hides in New Mexico. Beckett longs for Ireland. All three are alone; all three are haunted by their grandparents; all three hear the Big Bad Wolf scratching at the door. Three Houses is a post-pandemic open mic night parable about magic, madness, and the end of the world.

Preview opening: April 30th
Opening night: May 20th
Original closing night: June 9th
Updated closing night: June 16th
Originally, the online program only had the three different houses and Coda in the list of musical numbers. The full list was given to the press ahead of time, and by May 23rd (when I thought to check) the full list was on the digital program.
This production only gave out single sheet condensed programs, with the full thing avaliable through the QR code. A full printed program was avaliable on request, but was printed on plain white printer paper and isn't anything collectable.
On May 20th, along with opening night press, Signature announced that the show had recieved an extension and would now be running until the 16th of June.
Dystopian-Parable gave a great summary of the show after they saw it. Spoilers if you want to go in blind!!!
