The plot of Rancho Viejo is described as follows: "We never meet young Richie and Lonna, whose marriage is on the rocks. But miles and miles away, in the affluent southwestern suburb where their parents live, this couple’s separation is disturbing the tranquility of a community they’ve barely met."

The production will feature scenic design by Dane Laffrey, costume design by Jessica Pabst, lighting design by Matt Frey, and sound design by Tony Award winner Leon Rothenberg. Animals are provided by Tony Award-winning William Berloni Theatrical Animals.

Rancho Viejo is directed by Daniel Aukin and written by Dan LeFranc. Playwrights Horizons Artistic Director Tim Sanford joins them for a photo.
