Pictures from Home - Alley Theatre Skip to Content

By Sharr White

Based on the photo memoir “Pictures from Home” by Larry Sultan

HUBBARD THEATRE

This heartfelt memory play was part of the 2020 Alley All New Festival and was a hit on Broadway this past winter. Set in the late 1980’s, photographer Larry Sultan turns the lens on his parents to ferret out the truths beneath their home movies. This deeply intimate and comic portrait of a mother, a father and their son explores the question; who gets to depict the family story?


run time
