Following development in the 2009 workshop at the Road Less Traveled Theater in Buffalo, New York, The Couple Next Door was immediately slated for full production, and opened the 2010-2011 season on September 10, 2010. The four-week run broke box office records, becoming the theater’s second highest-grossing production and the highest grossing world premiere in the theater’s history.
