Polite Conversations and Wine

A sharp and insightful new play that probes the complexities and tensions of mother/daughter relationships. A well-done new work featuring strong performers!... full review

I thought that this was a wonderful display of family dynamic, dealing with issues far too uncomfortable and painful in a complete honest way ... instead choosing nuances as a way of necessity. Michael Perlmutter's writing and dialogue should be celebrated. All the actors were strong in their performances. Leah Jarvik is especially impressive, she finds the right balance between humor and pain. Her character choices are a relief because she avoids the self indulgent choice of displaying suffering ... instead choosing charm and grace as her way to deal with difficult life choices. She's a star in the making.... full review

It was a really interesting dynamic of mothers and daughters interacting over challenging situations and trying to keep the peace though the generational differences were problematic! We can all relate to dysfunctional family affairs, so I really appreciated the wit, humor and truthfulness of the moments. It's a joy to see live theater explore complex relationships without indulging in suffering~ All the performances were quite good ... the listening and connecting most interesting. Kudos to Amy Marcs, Robin McDonald, Leah Jarvik & Mikki Hernandez for tremendous performances and to Michael Perlmutter for writing insightfully such human female characters! When the impulse is to embrace life's pain, it is far more joyful & human to be resilien... full review

I also thought it was lovely to experience in the intimate setting of the Broadwater blackbox theater. ... full review
