The Children, a play by Lucy Kirkwood featuring set design by Tom Kamm, is receiving attention in the press. The Children opened at the Studio Theatre on May 1st and will run until June 9, 2019.

As Nelson Pressley writes in the Washington Post,

The pleasure of the performance lies in all the little details that accrue in the storytelling, the acting and the design — the practical reason for that healthy-looking salad Hazel tosses, for instance, and the rationale behind those deadly-looking cigarettes Rose puffs. Muse’s cast moves around Tom Kamm’s cottage set with familiar ease, and Kamm and Muse devise a substantial visual surprise to punctuate Kirkwood’s plot. The foible-riddled human scale is Kirkwood’s chief focus here, but her implications land with force.

Our project Open House has been featured as the centerfold in Home & Design! Take a look at the article by Sharon Jaffe Dan, which highlights our journey to create a Palm Springs Modern design in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.

As the author says about the project:

Kamm and his partner, architect Kelly Saunders, based their design of Seiden’s house on the typical Palm Springs desert-courtyard home—noted for its simple geometry and abundant walls of glass. Their plan consists of three wings arranged in a U shape, embracing a pool/garden courtyard. The main entry wing houses the living and dining rooms; a floating stair and catwalk lead to three guest suites tucked away in a volume cantilevered above it. A second wing contains the master suite, complete with a dressing room, bath and outdoor shower. A third holds the kitchen, butler’s pantry, family room and carport. And a party-ready lower level awaits overflow crowds.

This play by the Pulitzer-prize winning Cuban author Nilo Cruz dives into the history of the S.S. St. Louis, a ship of Jewish refugees that was turned away by both Cuba and the United States during WWII. As Theatre J puts it, “This dreamlike sonata explores the plight of the refugee, the resilience of love, and the sensuality of imagination.”
