    Jami Brandli is #playwrightgoals. This play is so funny and then punches you in the gut hard. If you have ever dealt with Alzheimer's in any personal way prepare to cry and laugh a lot. Love this family play and hope all you fools produce it soon

    Jami Brandli never fails to blow me away with the breadth and depth of her work and The Caregiver's Guide is another home run. This play beautifully renders the dynamics between the siblings and their dad as they face one of the biggest hardships a family can face - for the second time around. Be prepared to laugh and cry.
