Meet the Director and Creator of TIN CHURCH - ROBYNE PARRISH
Born in Ohio and raised in the Carolinas, Parrish has lived and worked as an Actor/Director/Playwright in NYC for the better part of twenty years. This is her first commissioned play and her first full length world premiere. Parrish and Off the Wall have a storied past, collaborating on multiple projects, notably Sarah Kane's 4.48 Psychosis, Andrea Lepcio's Looking for the Pony, and The Zero Hour by Madeline George. Parrish cites she's been greatly influenced by playwrights Williams, Letts, McNally, Nottage, Shepard and Shanley, "I have a great deal of admiration for Shanley and have since my college years. I'd say Shanley was instrumental in making my childhood desire to be in New York a reality, by bringing the community into focus and allowing his characters to take huge risks and speak deep secret truths. As Actor/Playwrights, Tracy Letts and Sam Shepard always inspired me to embrace the multi-hyphenate within. They wrote rich and deeply emotional characters, like Nottage and McNally. And of course, Williams, a prolific southern Playwright who was known for using his familial relationships as inspiration for his storytelling."
The world premiere of TIN CHURCH will be at the Chain Theater, New York, NY, October through November 2024, with previews beginning October 23rd.

Inspired by recurring nightmares and an old Tin Church, Parrish weaves a sultry southern spell that begs the question, can the wheel of generational trauma ever truly stop spinning? Or are families destined to repeat life's tragedies again and again?
