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
Pictures from Home is approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes long, with no intermission.
