Enid’s Mill

In 1979 upstate New York, a snowed-in house tucked beside an old mill holds a decade of grief—and one sister’s persistent hope. Enid’s Mill is a poignant new family drama about choosing color and light, even on the darkest days. 

When Cassie returns home after a ten-year absence, she confronts the tragedies that tore her family apart and the brilliant, neurodiverse sister she left behind. Surrounded by home-cooked food, brightly colored paintings, and many unspoken truths, the family navigates a stormy reunion with the power to heal, if Cassie can let them in. 

A tender, richly human story about resilience, memory, and what it means to come home. World Premiere.

This production includes references to sexual assault.

A note from the Producer: 

Enid’s Mill, while loving and full of humor, engages complex and weighty themes that we have approached with care and intentionality. The character of Enid is developmentally disabled and lives with physical challenges. Her dialogue, behavior, talents, and sense of humor are deeply inspired by the playwright’s brother. We have allowed Martha’s lived experience as sister and caregiver to guide us in shaping as nuanced and specific a characterization of Enid as possible.
Given the complex demands of the role, we were not able to cast an actor who shares Enid’s disabilities. Under the caring direction of director Leslie Pasternack, Elly Berke brings empathy and rigor, creating a portrayal rooted in respect and authenticity.
We look forward to hearing your response to this character and to the play as a whole.
