The production examines a network executive who shifts a popular news anchor to the host of a reality TV show.

“When these two worlds collide, ‘Our House’ takes on a media-obsessed culture intent on turning even the most sobering crisis into sexy entertainment,” said theater officials.

The production is directed by Susan Hinshaw, COC theatre faculty member, and written by Theresa Rebeck, creator of the NBC drama, “Smash.”

“‘Our House’ is about the blurring of the lines between news, entertainment and reality,” said Hinshaw. “The playwright was quite prescient in writing it eight years ago. It’s straight out of today’s headlines.”
