Daughtering

by Nina Alice Miller

As life skills go, daughtering is a good one, but shouldn’t you outgrow it? Or is that even possible? Three generations of daughters navigate living, dying and the dead when they are called home to appease unruly spirits.

    “

    I had the pleasure of attending a workshop reading of this powerful script and was so excited by its characters, language, and storytelling. DAUGHTERING is a beautiful and eminently theatrical exploration of intergenerational relationships, providing four female-identifying actors with complex, nuanced, and exciting roles. The humor, pathos, and humanity of the piece is so visceral on the page, you cannot help but envision it in production.
