From the 1950s through the 1980s, the slideshow was a staple of the American household. SLIDESHOW drops audiences back into the time of Kodachrome colors, weaving a fictional family history around strangers’ real slides of long ago vacations. A funny, disturbing, and deeply felt work about the disconnection between the lives of children and those of their parents, SLIDESHOW recreates a lost ritual and delves into the aspirations of 20th-century American life.
Critics say: “The performance is a brilliant exercise in connecting dots that lead McIlvain’s unnamed character on an epic journey with several loves.“ -Broad Street Review. “The punchy-colored slides and humorous yet heartfelt prose McIlvain recites is as uncanny and nostalgic as some of our own family scrapbooks.” -City Paper. “Ingenious travel down memory lane!” -Stage Magazine
