Many Hats Theatre Company is set to open their latest production, Real Estate, a romantic comedy by Canadian playwright Allana Harkin.
The play follows Joel, a mystery novelist experiencing writer’s block. He retreats to the small-town family home that his father built, but the house needs to be sold and fast.
Enter Emma-an incredibly determined realtor-who decides that Joel is as much of a “fixer-upper” as the house he lives in. With the addition of Joel’s soon-to-be-ex looking to get divorce papers signed and her boyfriend in tow, Emma focuses all her considerable energy into developing the curb appeal of the house-as well as its inhabitant.
