←Recommendations of Wayfinding

A highly theatrical, quick-moving, powerful piece about the ways we often relinquish our agency, believing ourselves to be fated to continue in our (often self-defeating) ways. Though the play deals frankly with death, it is ultimately about hope and about daring to believe in love and connection. With its many locations and its time-travel-y bending of reality, it is fantastical (in the best way), yet its emotional core is rooted in the experience of being human.

I loved reading this play. I hope I get to see a production of it here in FL at some point!

I had the opportunity to direct this play in college, and it suited itself well to our smaller production capacity. With a 5 person cast, the show was intimate and personal, leaving only a thin veil where the fourth wall might be. It was heartwrenching without blanketing the plot in depression, with moments of levity that made audiences laugh, even when they wanted to cry.

Immediately after my first read of Wayfinding, I knew I wanted to see it on stage, even if it seemed impossible.

One of the best plays I've ever read.

A darkly beautiful tale filled with longing and regret, but with the warmest ray of hope peeking over the horizon.

A gripping tale, cellular and celestial, boundlessly imaginative yet so achingly *human* - Rowland's play unfolds like a mystery, each page asking questions and pulling me deeper into the world. There's a symphonic quality to what she pulls off here, the rise of tensions, the pace and reveals. It's spacious and close - The way, in the days and weeks and months (and years) after a loss, the world, the sky, the day, looks different. Just a beautiful piece.

When dealing with so much pain, loss and self-sabotage the weight of being human gets to you. Until that is, a terrible crash brings some unexpected magic leading these two through heartbreak towards a fresh start, a beautiful journey of connection and aliveness. Lovely.

Wow! Beautiful, funny, heartbreaking work that bends genre/reality while still being immensely human. Rowland explores grief, relationships, and emotional self-sabotage with two nuanced, complex central characters. I was most amazed at the tightrope walk between hilarity and tragedy that this play navigated throughout. The surprising yet seamless transitions, dreamlike moments, and at times heightened text and world also felt supremely theatrical--the bold stage pictures stuck with me and made me yearn to see this on its feet in the hands of a creative director and design team. A wonderful challenge for artists on and offstage alike.

A magical, time-bending, heartbreaking, dramatic tapestry.

I had the pleasure of sitting in a workshop room for this play and every moment of this script is a delicious blend of comedy and heartbreak. There is nothing I like more than a play that uses magic to illustrate a deep interior human experience. This play does just that.
