What do Dolly Parton, Jiu-Jitsu,and a pot-smoking granny have in common?  They all play a role in The Kitchen Sink, a tender comedy about family, class, and dreaming of better things - even when there’s no running water. Martin the milkman’s customers are dropping his services, Kath is making ends meet as an elementary school lunch lady, Billy dreams of painting and Sophie teaches little girls the martial arts...but despite their best efforts, the family is sliding down the economic ladder, on their way to a watery reckoning. Why this play now? As we creep out of our pandemic shells, we look back with gratitude towards the people and places that saw us through. Families became our anchors and domestic spaces became our world. The Kitchen Sink reminds us of the haven and the humor that friends and families provide us in times of stress. Welcome to the world of The Kitchen Sink, where we are reminded, in this (hopefully) post-pandemic moment, to laugh when we want to cry (over spilt milk).
