The Year to Come

World-Premiere Play

The Year to Come

December 4 - 30, 2018 | Mandell Weiss Theatre

By Lindsey Ferrentino | Directed by Anne Kauffman

CRITIC’S CHOICEThe San Diego Union-Tribune

Every New Year’s Eve a family gathers in their Florida backyard to ring in the coming year. In between dips in the pool, politically incorrect banter and a highly-anticipated onion dip, their relationships grow and fracture in moments that become family legend. Unfolding backwards in time, The Year to Come is a funny, touching and relatable world premiere that shows how the promise of our future is shaped by the lens of our past.

Rising playwright Lindsey Ferrentino introduces us to a distinctly American family whose evolution mirrors the turbulence of the 21st century.

Tickets start at $46
A limited number of Area 3 – $20 tickets for The Year to Come are made available one week before the first performance.

This production contains strong language and adult content.
Estimated run time: approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes, plus a 15-minute intermission.
