Just Add Water made its world premiere at The Ellen in May of this year. Four months later, after some reworking by Emmy winning playwright John Ludin, the cast reunites for a staged reading of this comedy/drama.

Observe the creative process and see how ideas go from the page to the stage. Audience members will get a behind-the-scenes look at how a cast, director and playwright team together in this evolution of a new work.  In addition, after each performance, there will be a talkback and question and answer session with the audience.  

Father Ferguson has been asked to bless the house, but it’s going to take more than divine intervention to maintain harmony in the Hoffman home. At a time of emotional crossroads, there are big decisions to be made. Unfortunately, this family can’t even decide on what time to have dinner. Just Add Water is the comic and touching tale of an enigmatic father’s three sons, each on a different path in life. Adding laughs to this offbeat sibling reunion are a philosophical repairman, a frustrated actress and loopy Aunt Maggie.
