The Pool Reviews & Responses

A masterful piece of art, you should absolutely buy tickets for this once in a lifetime experience. -Mads B

The Pool is an honest and emotional peek into the heart of a woman battling to find peace in war between guilt and self-preservation. The play draws the curtains back on what it means to lose someone you love to suicide, and the lasting impact that person can have on you – even in death. It is raw, sad, happy and healing, all wrapped up in a frill-less exposition of real life. A must see. – Evan A

The Pool was an awesome original piece of theater. Written and performed in an extremely honest and human way. The show deftly explores grief and complex relationships in a style that we rarely see across media and art. The acting, writing, and production design were all excellent. – Ethan G

It’s been a few days since I saw The Pool, and I’m still thinking about it. Written and performed by my talented friend, Jennifer Caress, the play was haunting, honest, and deeply moving. The way it explored grief, trauma, and the complicated bonds that remain even after death was powerful – and incredibly personal for me. I cried through much of it. The therapeutic aspect of the story felt especially true to life, and it was portrayed with such care and emotional precision. I truly hope this show has a future beyond this first run. It deserves to be seen. – Jen A
