About the project: POTUS - One four-letter word is about to rock 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

The House Between - “The House Between” is about two immigrants drawn to the same ruined house from opposite histories. Chrissy, a Greek-Australian artist, and Hakan, a Turkish-American historian, meet in Ayvalık, Türkiye, and begin a late-in-life love story shaped by memory, family, and displacement.

His wife. The First Lady. "POTUS"
Greek–Australian. A painter and mother living in Melbourne. Warm, witty, and emotionally brave beneath a practiced competence. Carries the “unfinished story” of her grandfather and a restless need to stand inside the place it began.
Chrissy’s son. Protective, skeptical, articulate. Thinks structurally (risk, logistics, consequences). His love often arrives as interrogation first, tenderness second.
Chrissy’s daughter. Bright, affectionate, and perceptive. The first to offer warmth, the quickest to name what’s happening in the room; often the bridge between generations.
Turkish–American. An academic (a professor). Disciplined, cerebral, private; until the right silence breaks him open. He’s spent a lifetime explaining history; now he has to live inside it. His emotional center is steadier than he expects.
Hakan’s longtime friend. Semi-retired executive / mentor type. Warm, dry, and socially fluent; he can defuse tension without minimizing it. A steady witness - sometimes a referee, sometimes a catalyst.
Local fixer/contractor/paperwork operator. An indispensable “solver” who sells solutions and then invents them. Big-hearted, opportunistic, funny without being a clown. Carries a tape measure like a sword. Wants to be essential (and paid). Often the play’s pressure-valve, but with real stakes underneath. Not meant to be a cartoonish character with more substance than quickly visible on the surface.
Local falcon enthusiast / informal guide. Age flexible Arrives with tea and an overstuffed “logbook” energy. Speaks in folk-poetic metaphor that lands more deeply than he intends. Slightly mystical, slightly practical, like the town itself.
