The World Premiere of
The House Between
A New Play by Serhat Pala · Directed by Sean Boyd
Two immigrant families. One old house on the Aegean. A late-in-life love story about where we belong.
About the Show
Chrissy, a Greek-Australian painter, travels to Ayvalık on Türkiye’s Aegean coast to find the house her grandfather was forced to leave when he was ten. Hakan, a Turkish-American professor from Boston, is already there, holding his own old photograph of the same doorway. His grandfather was sent to that house from the other side of the sea.
Two strangers in their fifties. One doorway. Each was told the house would be empty.
What starts as a standoff over whose house it is becomes a late-in-life love story, and a test for the grown children who have to make room for it.

Two Families. One House. A Lifetime of Belonging.
Drawn to the same ruined house on the Aegean coast in Ayvalık, Türkiye, Chrissy—a Greek-Australian painter—and Hakan—a Turkish-American historian—meet and begin a late-in-life love story shaped by memory, family, and displacement.
When their grown children arrive, two worlds collide across shared history and personal truths. The House Between asks a question that resonates deep within the human experience:
