This December, experience the magic of 'Kin' as Anna, an Ivy-League poet scholar, and Sean, an Irish personal trainer, fall in love. In this play, however, we rarely see the two lovers together. The story is composed instead of scenes that might otherwise be found on the cutting room floor of a romantic dramedy.

Audiences will come to know Anna and Sean’s love through a deeper look into their secondary relationships: Anna’s eccentric Best Friend, Sean’s agoraphobic mother, Anna’s distant father, and more. Friend and family ties stretch across Ireland and New York, revealing the complexities of connection and community. This production, directed by Spencer Whale (Lempicka, Vile Isle), brings together a vibrant cast and creative team that boasts a mix of established and emerging talent.

Making Our Space Theatre Co.’s inaugural production will star: Melissa Hurst* ('Claire Tow' at Lincoln Center), Iliana Guibert* ('26 Miles' at Gulfshore Playhouse), Yuka Taga ('Don’t F*ck With Ba' World Premiere at TIFF), Timothy Wagner* ('Stupid F*cking Bird' at Theatre 4 The People), Joe Penczak* ('Macbeth' at Commonwealth Shakespeare Company), Eli Mazursky ('The Trumpery' at Huntington Theatre), Sophia Castuera* ('The Saint and the Football Player' at Mabou Mines), Ellie M. Plourde* ('Bettinger’s Luggage' at AMT Theater), Shah Motia ('Everyday Murder' at La MaMa). *Equity Members appearing with permission of Actors’ Equity Association without benefit of an Equity contract in this Off-Off Broadway production.
