Janey Makes A Play is a warm slice of life, really. At 90, Janey’s energy is infectious, and you feel her passion for community theatre. The documentary captures her as she juggles writing and directing, all while dealing with the quirks of her small-town cast. The pacing is laid-back, which gives you time to soak in the nuances of Janey's interactions and the snippets of rehearsals. There's a rawness to the performances that you don't see in larger productions – it's real people, with real emotions, tackling social issues through their art. The film leans into the charm of community theatre, highlighting not just Janey’s journey but also the sense of belonging it creates. It's a unique perspective on aging and creativity.
