Shelter Inn Place

The Lowdown

Frank Bennett runs a Gulf Coast bed and breakfast, and he would very much like to get through one hurricane without a family reunion. The weather has other plans. When the shelter-in-place order lands, Frank is boarded up inside his own inn with his father, his ex-wife, their son and a TV psychologist whose own life is coming apart right on schedule — five people, one house, no exits, and a storm that somehow turns out to be the most reasonable thing in the building.

Henry Feldman wrote it, Joan Kane directs, and Ego Actus produces at Theater Five inside Theatre Row on West 42nd Street. Mike Roche plays Frank, with Martin Revere, Alyssa Simon, Aaron Lamm and Haley Zale filling out the household.

The run is short and it is not coming back: September 18 through October 4, 2026, and that is the whole window. Theatre Row's houses seat under 200, so nobody is sitting far from the arguing. Bring the friend who enjoys watching a family hold it together badly.
