  • Jacqueline Goldfinger: Tornado Tastes like Aluminum Sting

    I saw this play at CATF and absolutely loved it! It’s a pure theatrical ride with a family where everyone loves everyone else - the conflict is about how good people do their best, try, succeed, and fail. I love family stories that are about the best of us - no matter how crazy complex/challenging/similar/different we all are, in the end, love wins.

  • Jacqueline Goldfinger: GTFOH

    I love this play. It needs to be produced now! It is speaking to how our society is evolving in the understanding of gender roles, sexuality, identity, and love in a way that is passionate, articulate, and true. Most plays in this vein are didactic, and this is not. This playwright understand that these topics are a matter of both the heart and the head, and balances those two sensibilities brilliantly. This will speak directly to what audience members are wrestling with NOW and needs to be staged today.

    I love this play. Poetic and poignant. An all encompassing experience of fear, love, and hope. Very highly recommend!

  • Jacqueline Goldfinger: Essential Reading for This Moment in History

    So glad Walsh is back with a new play! His dialogue punches through the page, his characters are deftly complex and so compelling that you cannot stop reading, and his imagination soars as he fades from waking life to sleeping life, and back again. I cannot wait to see this on-stage!

  • Jacqueline Goldfinger: Apocalypse Dating Play

    APOCALYPSE has it all. Well-written characters, thoughtful social commentary, terrific comedic moments, and love. The synopsis says that it has a "drive to find hope the midst of hopelessness" which is exactly what we need right now as we go into yet another year of COVID craziness. Hope as a thing with feathers but also with complex questions, imperfect characters, and truthful humor. This play should be on stages across he country.

  • Jacqueline Goldfinger: Pandora's Suitcase

    I cannot wait to take my family to a production of this play. My kids will love the whimsy and adventure, and I will enjoy all of the winks to the grown-ups in the room. Funny, educational, and emotionally captivating, I highly recommend this play!

  • Jacqueline Goldfinger: If nobody does remarkable things

    Love this honest look at climate change through the lens of complex, knotty, all too human relationships. Most climate change plays are ineffective because they are more interested in facts than people. Gibson forefronts the people so her play is vibrant and entertaining while provoking important conversation about the climate crisis. Highly recommend!

  • Jacqueline Goldfinger: Carroll County Fix

    This is a play we need on stages NOW. Funny, irreverent, and provocative - a study of rural America that will change the way you see our entire country. Highly Recommend!

  • Jacqueline Goldfinger: Return

    Moving, funny, and thoughtful. Does exactly what theater should do - entertain, provoke, and leave you talking long after the curtain goes does. Highly Recommend!
