by Daf James
January 22 - February 8, 2025
Directed by Award-winning Off-Broadway Director Cameron Watson, whom the Wall Street Journal calls “the best in the country.”

A single dad meets his adopted daughter for the first time. Then he agrees to meet her birth-mother. When their two worlds collide, will what they have in common outweigh their differences? A one-off meeting. But three lives will be changed forever. On the Other Hand, We’re Happy is a tender, funny, hopeful play about being a mum when your name is Dad.
