 Ever wish you could read your spouse's mind? Join us as we eavesdrop on the secret thoughts of a young married couple on the brink. While sharing their sometimes laugh-at-loud inner monologues, this Mr. and Mrs. grapple with deep-rooted anxiety over domestic life, fleeting youth, regrets, fidelity, and the captivating notion that a person’s entire life-course can hinge on one hasty decision.

      I saw the opening night production of Going With Jenny and had a wonderful time. The creative and design elements were great, especially given the space they were working in. The acting was exquisite. The direction and staging was smart, sensitive and lured me into the play in such a meaningful way making the world of the story much more accessible to me. The play captured some common life struggles in marriage and although the writing was a bit simpler than I prefer the production team and actors so made up for it that I still walked away thinking and reliving the play days after seeing it.

      I enjoyed Penfold's "Three Days of Rain" and "John & Jen" and wanted to see their new work at the Round Rock library. Penfold's production team transformed a large conference room into an intimate performance space with a simple, realistic apartment set. Performed by skilled actors Molly Fonesca and Nathan Jerkins, the play deals with a 7-year marriage at a crossroads. Neither spouse is content, and instead of talking to each other, they confide in the audience through alternating monologues about how their rural Christian upbringing and limited relationship/sexual experience affected their development and maturation (or lack of maturity, in the case of the husband). Some of the monologues are fresh and funny; others seem to be trying too hard to amuse. The script might benefit from fewer childhood stories and more about the marriage itself. The 2 scenes in which the couple does interact are intense and satisfying. (Young actors: the play is a good source for audition monologues.) Collapse
