‘The House of Yes’: The Compass Theatre will perform The House of Yes at 7:30 p.m. It’s Thanksgiving Day, 20 years after the JFK assassination, and the hurricane raging outside is outdone only by the storm brewing inside the Pascals’ affluent home.

She enlists younger brother Anthony to divide and conquer, as Mama prepares to “baste the turkey and hide the sharp objects.” With the power out and the alcohol flowing, the family’s obsession with the Kennedys and Jackie’s even greater obsession with Marty are played out in a haunting and dangerous game. The final performance is Feb. 14. General admission is $23 with discounts for seniors and students. The Compass Theatre is located at 3704 6 Ave. in Hillcrest.
