directed by RHODIE JACKSON

COMEDY |  A married couple who are both doctors have hired a housekeeper named Matilde, an aspiring comedian from Brazil who’s more interested in coming up with the perfect joke than in house-cleaning. This theatrical and wildly funny play is a whimsical and poignant look at class, comedy and the true nature of love.

REVIEWS

Tamara McClaran, BUZZ:

“Under the insightful direction of Rhodie Jackson, The Clean House is well paced and strikes a delicate balance between the action’s fantasy and reality.. Gloria Ware gives a commanding performance as Lane.. Gisella Silva is charming and captivating as Matilde.. Toni Lang Philips is convincing as Virginia, capturing her nervous energy and caring personality..  [Michael] Ray portrays Charles with great passion and [Gretta] Russe reveals Ana’s empathy, understanding and strength..”

“Matilde, a Brazilian maid.. is brilliantly portrayed by Gisella Silva… Lane, an American physician.. ia skillfully and playfully performed by Gloria Ware.. Toni Lang Phillips is wonderful as the gentle and emotionally needy Virginia.. Director Rhodie Jackson has done a masterful bit of casting..”
