Directed by Lisa B. Thompson, this twisted and hilarious new play grapples unflinchingly with aging parents, midlife crisis, and the heart of a West Philly neighborhood.

The holidays are always a wild family affair at the Shealy house. But this year, Dotty and her three grown children gather with more than exchanging presents on their minds. As Dotty struggles to hold on to her memory, her children must fight to balance care for their mother and care for themselves.

playwright Colman Domingo said “It makes my heart sing that Dr. Lisa B. Thompson, one of my dearest friends and colleagues will be at the helm of the Austin premiere of Dot,”

Starring Melody Fullylove as Dotty, Michelle Alexander as Shelly, Patti Neff-Tiven as Jackie, Jeremy Rashad Brown as Donnie, Grayson Hunt as Adam, Oktavea LaToi as Averie, and Jeremy Canales as Fidel
