Spinning boasts the sure, sensitive hand of star director Joanie Schultz... Kingsley is the picture-perfect anguished mother... Meredith portrays unsure adolescent Annie with an authenticity that’s borderline chilling. Waller presents a stunning arc as a loving man gone out of control, and Kruse brings an intelligent humanity to Jen. Without a doubt, Spinning is a compelling, emotional parable”

Director Joanie Schultz’s cast is terrific. She’s paced her drama with a growing sense of darkness, staged with economy and sincerity. This is a play to be savored…
The road shared with these four flawed characters as they travel, so filled with hurt,
is a path to enlightenment
​for the audience.”
~ CHICAGO THEATER REVIEW

Waller delivers an impressive range… Kingsley pulls us into her despair so completely I get teary.  The love between a parent and a child is this play’s emotional essence.
​And the loss of a child is the unforgettable takeaway. SPINNING is powerful. Following the thunderous applause, one audience member uttered ‘Wow!’ I heartily agree”
