CREATORS STATEMENT
MORE HOUSE is all about love, laughter, and a lot of family quirks. Hunter Dungy and Jay Santos are two seemingly different people—an interracial and interabled couple—navigating the ultimate test of patience: introducing their families. Imagine a dinner where humorous miscommunications and cultural differences are the main course. This script brings to life real, three-dimensional Deaf characters and shows the beautiful mess that happens when different worlds come together. It's funny and touching. Despite their desperate attempts to control their respective families' behavior, it’s a reminder that every family, no matter how different, has more in common than they think.
