The world premiere of The Best Boarding House in Delaware, a new play by acclaimed writer Marja-Lewis Ryan. The production marks the long-awaited return to the stage of beloved actress Leigh Taylor-Young. Inspired by the chilling true story of Dorothea Puente—who ran a social security scam out of her boarding house for seniors—the play explores themes of trust, vulnerability, and survival. Ryan brings her signature emotional depth to a story that is as haunting as it is compelling. This play sheds light on loneliness and aging in America while centering the emotional lives of its characters.
