Rabbit Hole was originally commissioned by South Coast Repertory and first presented at its Pacific Playwrights Festival reading series in 2005. It received its first full production in New York in 2006. It has also been produced by regional theatres in cities such as Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
