It has been more than a quarter-century since the Off-Broadway debut of Painting Churches, award-winning playwright Tina Howe’s moving, most well known play about the shifting family dynamics between an aging couple of Boston Brahmins and their daughter, an on-the-brink-of-success painter who has come north from New York City to help them pack up their townhouse for their move to a beach home on Cape Cod. She does, however, have a hidden agenda; she plans to paint their portrait to include in her upcoming show at a prestigious Manhattan art gallery. This oft-produced play is popular with theatre groups not only for its economy (its a three-hander) but also for taking on universal themes of the ties that bind with humor, pathos, and authenticity.
