In November of 2012, the entire original cast appeared in a staged reading of the play at The Abingdon Theatre in NY. Now, the company of the Weight of Water invites you to join us as we mount our full production in the Crown Theatre at the Producers' Club, at 358 W. 44th St., in the heart of New York's theater district.

"Nine days after Hurricane Katrina, two rescue workers wash up on the doorstep of Pearl Haynes and try to remove her from the only home she has ever known for over 44 years, wreaking more havoc than any force of nature can conjure."
