WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
In Emmy Award nominee Aron Eli Coleite's The Family Room, all 15-year-old David wants is to be a typical teenager, angry with everyone, especially his parents - two therapists who treat David like just another patient.
But in this world even therapists have therapists, and with David's rage mounting, and his parents' marriage on the rocks, every member of the family finds themselves in treatment, and no one is getting any better. When David secretly tapes his father's sessions with a troubled girl from David's school and uses his knowledge to begin a budding romance - lives collide, therapists become patients, parents act like children and two teenagers must decide whether big problems can be solved by friendship alone.

The boy, utterly miserable and deeply troubled, doesn't believe that anyone ever gets well, using himself as Exhibit A. His actions -- part teenage rebellion, part cry for help -- are at the epicenter of a downward spiral that puts his father, Dr. Campbell (David M. Pincus) and mother, Dr. Tate-Campbell (Nancy Stone) to the [...]
