Synopsis: 'The Diorama is a new offbeat romantic comedy about love, igloos and the fine line between artistry and insanity. When her artist sister Cecily invades her NYC apartment, Wall Street lawyer Janey gets more than she bargained for when Cecily begins constructing a life size igloo. While the two sisters seek a sense of belonging - either in a relationship or a safe place to call home - they are haunted by the tragedies of the past. Along the way they teach each other about life, love and happiness.'
The cast of The Diorama will feature Alberto Bonilla, Hunter Canning, Bob Greenberg, Victoria Mack and Susan Louise O'Connor.
The creative team behind The Diorama features choreography by Wendy Seyb, scenic design by Jen Varbalow, costumes by Sidney Shannon, lighting by Joe Doran, and sound design by Nick Simone.
