Edward Albee’s “At Home at the Zoo” combines Albee’s groundbreaking 1959 short play The Zoo Story with his acclaimed prequel Homelife written in 2004. Together these short plays form Edward Albee’s At Home at the Zoo, the complete story of publishing executive Peter, his wife Ann, and Jerry, the volatile stranger Peter meets in the park. The play begins with Homelife, and offers a revealing look at Peter and Ann’s rocky marriage, their brutal attempts to communicate, and the loneliness within their shared life. The tension escalates in the next act, The Zoo Story. While reading on a Central Park bench, a stranger walks up to Peter and declares that he has “been to the zoo!” The man, Jerry, begins to tell tale after tale, probe deep into Peter’s life, and attempt to take the bench for himself.
The play includes Quinn Cassavale (The Lover, Little Foxes), Gregory Erbach, (A Steady Rain. Uncle Vanya), and Tony Knotts (Body of an American, Desire Under the Elms).

Also, on Monday, October 20th, we will be presenting a reading of “What the Constitution Means to Me,” by Heidi Schreck, with Nancy Giles. A reading co-sponsored with North Hudson Resistance.

Our ticket prices are low because that’s the way we want them to be and we are committed to making our theatre affordable to all. It’s a conscious decision, not spur of the moment. Broadway ticket prices are unaffordable for far too many people. We want to see people from all economic levels in our audience, from all different backgrounds. HTW is built on the idea of community and shared conversation. Attending a play sparks ideas, examines the experience of our common humanity. In these difficult times, who doesn’t need to be reminded of that? So get your tickets by clicking on the link below and we’ll see you at The Works!
