THE STORY: A young man raises his father. Then he leaves home. He meets a young woman who undoes him. The young woman has her own story: a mother who is a force of nature. It's a play about legacy - how do we become who we are? - and it's about leaving home. We raise our children to leave us, to walk out into the world. But then they do.

"GOLDFISH is a small but exquisite triumph. An emotionally involving drama, with an old-school catharsis at the end. Kolvenbach is a playwright with a deep, rich well of ideas and characters capable of bringing them to life." - Orange County Register. "One terrific play that mixes potent writing with images that will remain forever. GOLDFISH is unmissable!" - BeyondChron.org. "A gritty and heartwrenching study by playwright John Kolvenbach into the bonds that unite us as fathers, mothers, sons and daughters and what happens when change threatens them." - StarkSilverCreek.com. "Kolvenbach writes hilarious dialogue and sculpts scenes that deliver a punch to the heart." - SF Weekly.
