FLOPHOUSE

Music by Joanna Burns

Book & Lyrics by Justin Anthony Long & Joël René Scoville

Set in 2009 in one of the last remaining single room occupancy (SRO) hotels in NYC’s Bowery district, Flophouse is centered on eight diverse residents faced with eviction. Utilizing a contemporary score, the musical provides a glimpse into the personalities, desires, and needs of the soon-to-be homeless folk and folx as they go on job interviews, await the mail, dream of a better tomorrow, and wonder where they’ll go in a world that doesn’t seem to care.
