Nobodys Home is a bedroom drama that plays out … in bedrooms

When Morgan FitzPatrick Andrews comes to town, he doesn't just ask friends if he can crash on their couch.
He also wants to borrow their bedroom as a performance space for his site-specific work Nobody's Home. The piece is touring the country one bedroom at a time.
Andrews is the founder of the Medium Theatre Company, a Philadelphia-based collaborative of artists who create site-specific performances. The company is stopping in Pittsburgh from March 28 to 30 for three performances of Nobody's Home in three locations around the city.
Andrews directed and designed the show, which he co-authored with Mason Rosenthal, who appears as the Nobody of the title.
The work grew out of Rosenthal's desire to do a show in his own 12-foot by 12-foot bedroom, inspired by the guided-meditation techniques of German spiritual leader and author Eckhart Tolle.
When the meditation goes wrong, the play turns into a relationship drama, then a game show and a high-school dance, Andrews says. The show is very funny even when it gets serious. A lot of people don't know whether they should laugh or cry.
Andrews and Rosenthal don't drive, so they use public transportation to travel from city to city and bedroom to bedroom. That required them to restrict the show's technical elements to items that could fit into a single trunk that travels with them.
Props include a shadowy owl, some plastic turtles, a coyote, hot oil and platters of fruit. There are sound effects and choreography. Tea is served.
The show utilizes all the senses. When you use all five senses, you are more engaged, Andrews says.
