Written by Tina Howe, first produced Off-Broadway in 1976 and a finalist for the 1982 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The play concerns the relationship between
an artist daughter and her aging parents. Gardner and Fanny Church are preparing to move out of their Beacon Hill house to their summer cottage on Cape Cod. They have asked their daughter, Mags, to come home and help them move. She agrees, for she hopes to finally paint their portrait. She is now on the verge of artistic celebrity herself
and hopes, by painting her parents, to come to terms with them and they with her.

"Beautifully written ...PAINTING CHURCHES is theatrical family portrait that has the shimmer and depth of Renoir portraits." N.Y.Times. "A radiant, loving and zestfully humorous play . . . distinctly Chekhovian. Howe captures the same edgysurface of false hilarity, the same unutterable sadness beneath it, and the indomitable valor beneath both."
