  • Jacquelyn Reingold: The Caregivers

    This harrowing-in-the-best way play about a middle aged daughter and a professional caregiver, in true conflict over the ending lives of--both their mothers, hit close to home. A tour de force for two women actors! I would love to see this wrenching, complex, beautifully written drama on stage. Even though it would break my heart. But that is why I go to the theater. To look at the dark places. To feel, and sometimes mourn, freely in the dark. And to be think about the fragility of our lives, and the nightmares of inequity. Bravas to this playwright!

  • Jacquelyn Reingold: The Brisket

    Ah, sisters!! What a wonderful, honest, big hearted yet conflict driven tale about three complex womxn in their 50s-60s (yay for women over 50!). Family dynamics expertly drawn, with nuance and humor, and fear for that sweet dog, all twisted into a Christmas gift of a play, in 10 pages. Delightful and satisfying!

  • Jacquelyn Reingold: Maid's Door

    A beautiful depiction of a multi-generational family, filled with love, insights, and heartbreak. Layers of complexity are stunningly, almost magically, laid out in counterpoint to a disintegrating mind. Sadly relevant to anyone who's been young, not so young, and if lucky, will become old. Elegant and poignant.
