Outdoing the Jones’s

Creative Artists Laboratory opens its ninth season with the world premiere of Outdoing the Jones’s. Written by Artistic Director Tanya Klein, the play continues CAL’s tradition of tackling current hot-button subjects. In this case, the rise of little Nietzsche’s at the mall. A marriage spirals out of control as the couple battles mounting debt, forcing them to choose between their children and their possessions.

Outdoing the Jones’s depicts a world in which achievement is measured by the largeness of your house, happiness by the size of your bank account, and success by the amount of possessions you own.
