House of Stairs at Addison Theatre Centre

Outcry Theatre presents House of Stairs, a new play adapted from the book by William Sleator by Jason Johnson-Spinos. Peter, Lola, Blossom, Abigail, Oliver. Five sixteen-year-old orphans, living in a near future, are brought to a place unlike anything they have ever known. It has no walls, no ceiling, no floor. Nothing but endless flights of stairs leading nowhere except back to the machine. The five will learn to love the machine, will let it rule their lives. But will they let it kill their souls?
