About Marvin's Room

Janeane Garofalo, Lili Taylor & Celia Weston in the Broadway Premiere of "Marvin's Room"

Comedy trailblazer Janeane Garofalo, Emmy-winning actress Lili Taylor and Tony-nominated theater and screen veteran Celia Weston star in the Broadway premiere of "Marvin's Room", Scott McPherson's award-winning, wildly funny play about the laughter that can shine through life's darkest moments. Lee is a single mother who's been busy raising her troubled teenage son Hank. Her estranged sister Bessie has her hands full with their elderly father, his soap opera-obsessed sister -- and a brand-new life-or-death diagnosis. Now the women are about to reunite for the first time in 18 years. Can these almost-strangers become a family in time to make plans, make amends and maybe make a trip to Disney World? "Marvin's Room" explores an unsentimental reality with hope, compassion and a dose of wonderfully absurd humor. Watch the family bonds get put to the test when Anne Kauffman directs this Roundabout Theatre Company production at New York's American Airlines Theatre.
