When Maddie is forced to seek the help of her long-estranged mother, she finds herself unable to shield her daughter Caroline from the inescapable circumstances that fractured their family. A world premiere play by PRESTON MAX ALLEN (WE ARE THE TIGERS), directed by Tony Award Winner DAVID CROMER (DEAD OUTLAW, GOOD NIGHT, AND GOOD LUCK), CAROLINE is a luminous and intimate story about the possibility of redemption and the complex relationships between generations of mothers and daughters.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Caroline
'Caroline' Off-Broadway review — Chloë Grace Moretz leads a powerful cast in this emotional family drama
8 / 10
Three powerful performances under the direction of David Cromer (Dead Outlaw) make up for the script's shortcomings. Stylish and steely, Landecker recalls the detached mom in Ordinary People. Lipe-Smith’s work feels natural, never forced. Moretz shines from start to finish as she summons a deep well of anxiety and hurt.
Chloë Grace Moretz navigates tough love as a recovering addict in ‘Caroline’
8 / 10
Director David Cromer (Good Night, and Good Luck; Prayer for the French Republic) has a knack for extracting a kind of distilled specificity from his actors, and this trifecta rises to the occasion. Though a bit slowly paced in a preview performance I attended, the production has already been extended twice, perhaps driven by Moretz’s 23.8 million Instagram followers.
