The Woman in the Mirror play

Our goal for 2026! Let's take The Woman in the Mirror to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe AND Off Off Broadway. We have the script, the production, and the team in place to make this happen. It just takes money. And, every dollar counts!

The Woman in the Mirror is a raw, witty, and unexpectedly uplifting chronicle of a mother and daughter. For anyone who has ever cared for a loved one, this is a journey you’ll never forget.

Blending biting humor with deeply human storytelling, The Woman in the Mirror offers a fresh, intimate, and yes—funny—look at caregiving. Audiences nationwide have connected with its balance of comedy and compassion, finding strength in Steele’s fearless honesty. It’s part caregiver’s manual, part how-to guide for friends and family, and all heart—delivering laughter, insight, and connection.

This award-winning play is based on the best-selling book, Surviving Alzheimer’s with Friends, Facebook, and a Really Big Glass of Wine, from author, playwright, star, and rock radio Hall of Famer Dayna Steele. It is co-written and directed by award-winning director Laura Stearns.

Reviews:
