Nina, by Lynne Conner

from The Theater Project

What makes for a happy life? Nina focuses on the lives of two concentration camp survivors whose fifty-year friendship is being challenged by the death of a daughter. Set in the mid-1980s, the action moves back and forth between the locker room of the Jewish Community Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and the lawn of a summer retreat as the two life-long friends struggle to understand their roles as mothers of “American” children who have not suffered—or so they believe. Ultimately, Nina is a journey into identity, loss, memory, and the power of female friendship. Nina is the recipient of several awards, including the Gemini Theater New Play Festival competition, the Smith College New Play Festival competition, the Dorothy Silver Playwriting Award (finalist) and the Oglebay Institute Towngate Theatre Playwriting Contest (finalist).
