The Children of Vonderly

Ma-Yi Theater Company presents the world premiere of a new play by Lloyd Suh, The Children of Vonderly, directed by Ralph B. Pena.

There’s never a dull moment in the Vonderly household. Led by a headstrong Jewish matriarch, this unconventional multi-ethnic family of adopted and disabled children band together after a crisis threatens to rip them apart. Bound by his wheelchair and burdened by family obligations, oldest brother Jerry Vonderly looks for ways to balance his mother’s outlandish expectations and his own dreams of a “normal” life outside the family’s anything-but-traditional home in Indianapolis, Indiana.
