Press

Directed with admirable clarity by Adrienne Campbell-Holt, “Joan” leapfrogs through time to connect the dots that define its restless, ever-questing protagonist.”


Ms. Day, a 2017 Tony nominee for Lynn Nottage’s “Sweat”, glides through the many chapters of her character’s life... with tireless grace and vitality.
