Written by Michael Eichler

Directed by Ethan Labourdette

The House Where Nobody Lives is a heartfelt story of a man who returns to his childhood home in Buffalo, New York, to find it abandoned and falling apart. Inside he meets a brother and sister using the abandoned house for temporary shelter trying to make their way back home the only way they know how.

The play addresses racial issues and stereotypes and the realities of what can happen when confronted with them. How will these individuals be impacted by the prejudice they face every day? Will they ever find home?
