Marvin’s Room
SUMMARY
Ever since its debut on stage in New York in 1991, Scott McPherson's Marvin's Room has won universal acclaim for its refreshing take on the power of love, the meaning of family and the value of caring during the deepest struggles of life and illness. This hilarious and heartwarming expression of humor over despair, loving kindness over recrimination, and the simple joy of innocence over cynicism is a story about the years that keep us apart and the moments that bring us together. McPherson's insight was enhanced by his own experiences taking care of his lover, who was dying of AIDS, and his own subsequent positive diagnosis. Ultimately, McPherson and his lover succumbed to AIDS, but Marvin's Room remains behind as a testament, in McPherson's own words, 'to the power of giving yourself to someone else.'

Evergreen Players and Hiwan History Museum are teaming up to offer an immersive, interactive mystery event within the former log home of Dr. Neosha Josepha Williams Douglas, built between 1893 and 1918 located on Meadow Drive in Evergreen. The museum transforms into the 1920’s home of former crime boss Victor Moretti, and the small audience, as “guests” for Moretti’s speakeasy party assist Detective Gunn in solving the ensuing crime. This offers a unique theatrical experience where actors will engage directly with audience members who become active participants in solving the crime.
