Blame.
Denial.
Hotdish.
A Midwestern family’s quiet life is cracked open when an estranged
daughter appears at the onset of winter. After a ten-year absence,
the rebellious prodigal brings her punked-out boyfriend to her
family home, burning open the old wounds of a family tragedy, and
awakening a ghost from the past.
A
walk across thin ice. A drowned sister. History is repeated and
turns inside out, setting the stage for one last chance at
redemption.
"...a
moving and heartwarming story populated by folks from the Upper
Midwest most of us will recognize."

Rochester Post Bulletin
“Ice
Maidens is a strong play... also extremely funny. The fluid clash of
sincerity and cynicism, of heat and cold, provide unexpected levity.
