CHASING THE RIVER  (4W 2M, 90 minute full length)  Kat returns to the scene of the horrible crimes that changed the course of her life forever.  Reunions and revelations force her to face the truth about her past, and give her a chance to reclaim her future, because it’s not about the cards your dealt, it’s how you play the game.

“Jean Dobie Giebel is equipped with a superior skill when it comes to the ability to progress a story and reveal the pertinent information at the right moments. The past events slip in and out in no chronological order and yet integrate with ease and move the story along, keeping the audience interested and entertained from start to finish.”

– Tania Fisher, Theater Pizzazz

“Giebel’s psychologically insightful and sociologically astute script, with its natural everyday language, believable well-researched characters, and non-sequential revelations triggered by Kat’s visit, comes to life in emotionally expressive and empathetic performances by a superb cast.”

-Deb Miller, DC Metro Theater Arts

“Despite the challenge Giebel has set for herself in delaying the revelation of incest, both the subject matter and the way she weaves the story are highly compelling. In an era where #MeToo has become a clarion call but many women still do not speak out for fear of shame and stigma, this play is a powerful reminder of society’s failure to adequately address this issue.”

-Rachel Kovacs, Off Off Online
