The Electric Lodge - The Best Boarding House in Delaware

The Best Boarding House in Delaware
The world premiere of The Best Boarding House in Delaware, a new play by acclaimed writer/director Marja-Lewis Ryan (The L Word, Generation Q, 6 Balloons, Henry Johnson), marking the long-awaited return to the stage of beloved Emmy-Award winning actress Leigh Taylor-Young (Peyton Place, Soylent Green).
Inspired by the chilling true crimes of Dorothea Puente—who ran a social security scam out of her boarding house for seniors—The Best Boarding House in Delaware explores themes of trust, vulnerability, and survival. Ryan brings her signature emotional depth and human insight to a story that is as haunting as it is compelling.

Ryan reunites with her frequent collaborators for this production, including actors Heidi Sulzman (One in the Chamber, Bugaboo and The Silent One, A Good Family, Dysnomia), Jessie Warner (Dysnomia), Michelle Gardner (Bugaboo and The Silent One), scenic designer Michael Fitzgerald (Henry Johnson) and film producer Chris Bender (History of Violence).
