Hudson Guild Theater, New York City, Off-Broadway

About the Show

Family secrets are revealed in Nancy Dean’s That Ilk. Moving between 1938 and 1956, the play shows hidden family agendas set against events of WWII, and the social correctness and denial of the 1950s when Senator Joseph McCarthy pursued Jews and Gays. The family is divided by a continent and their own distrust of themselves and one another, yet taps rich sources of love, humor, and courage. Jere Jacob directs.
