  • Playwrights Foundation: WHAT WE FOUND by Molly Olis Krost
    “

    The community of national and local readers for the 45th annual Bay Are Playwrights Festival in 2022 enthusiastically recommends WHAT WE FOUND as a Semi-finalist at Playwrights Foundation. We were deeply moved by the explorations of identity, homecoming; telling a familiar story of familial grief in a unique and intentional way. We were compelled by this play’s promise in its character development and burgeoning stylistic choices. We hope this play is widely read, finds dedicated collaborators, and moves swiftly towards production. #BAPF2022

    I’m thrilled that this play poses questions about the complex interplay between race and Jewishness, questions at the heart of what the JPP is about. These are the critical, 21st century issues that need to be on our stages. I’m so excited for our community of readers to dive into this play.

    Powerful and insightful, this fine play probes deeply into the intersectional complexities of these characters while always keeping the drama and the layered familial conflicts present. A chamber piece that expands to encompass generations. Compelling work.

    A look at the multiracial intersections of black, white, Asian, and Jewish families as three young cousins unite at their grandparents' house to sort through their belongings and determine the inheritor of the property. Delightfully Weird in showcasing the surprises, haze, and entanglements of grief and family in a uniquely multiracial way. #BAPF2022
