THE HOUSE OF REDS STAGE PLAY PRODUCTION at California State University, Dominguez Hills – Carson, CA

Hazel Red is no ordinary grandmother; she’s bold, witty, and ready for love. After five years of dating the charming Deacon Roscoe, she’s wondering why there’s still no ring. But while Hazel’s heart aches for romance, her deeper strength shines as she holds her family together through emotional storms.

Her granddaughter Mia is caught in the fallout of her mother Sharmaine’s reckless choices. Sharmaine, the youngest of Hazel’s daughters, is spiraling, caught between addiction, toxic relationships, and a desperate search for meaning. Everyone else has given up on her… except Vernon, the boy next door, who still believes she can change.

Karen, Hazel’s eldest daughter, seems to have it all: a stable marriage, a successful career, and a life that checks every box. But beneath the surface, she’s quietly unraveling, balancing ambition with emotional health and realizing that doing everything “right” doesn’t always feel fulfilling.

This play explores what it means to be human in a world that demands perfection. It’s about searching for identity in a world full of expectations, navigating complicated family dynamics, and holding onto hope when everything feels uncertain. Through heartbreak, humor, and healing, Hazel’s family discovers that forgiveness isn’t just possible, it’s powerful.

It’s raw, real, and full of heart. Whether you’re figuring out who you are, healing from family wounds, or just trying to make sense of love and purpose, this story speaks your language.

If you’re figuring out who you are, questioning your path, or just craving a story that speaks your truth, this play is for you.
