Show Info

By Cyndy A. Marion
Directed by Dev Bondarin

With Leslie Alexander, Lisa Bostnar, Mel House, Gordon Stanley, and Rod Sweitzer

After fleeing New York City for the countryside during a global calamity, Rebecca finds herself alone in her family’s neglected farmhouse. She must do her best to manage the anxieties and expectations of her aging relatives as they clash over whether to sell the old house, all while surrounded by doorknobs and relationships that are in desperate need of repair. 

Thistles keenly explores family secrets, queerness, and the desperate desire to be accepted. Tragedy lurks as emotions are buried under ancestral floorboards. 

Please join us on Wednesday, November 20 for a post-show Gala Reception to celebrate 20+ years of White Horse Theater Company. The gala will include a ticket to the show on the 20th, plus drinks and light snacks after at the E:Bar.

Please join us for a post-show talkback following the performance on Friday, November 22 with the cast and creative team.
