Go behind-the-scenes of Rinse, Repeat, an off-Broadway production that enfolds the complex story of a young woman recovering from severe anorexia.
“If you had asked me when I graduated, I would have said I am going to be an actor, always an actor,” Domenica Feraud said. Only a few years out of college, Feraud has made good on her promise—and then some: She is celebrating the extended run of her first play, which she stars in and wrote.is an off-Broadway production that is currently staged at the Pershing Square Signature Center.
The plot follows Rachel , a Yale undergraduate who has spent her past semester recovering from severe anorexia at Renley, an inpatient treatment center near her family home in Greenwich, Connecticut. Her months of progress have earned her a trial weekend at home with her family to determine whether she’s ready to leave Renley for good.
Rachel grapples with the fear of disappointing her mother, Joan . An Ecuadorian immigrant who could barely make ends meet when she arrived in the States, Joan worked her way up the corporate ladder to out-earn Rachel’s trust-funded father, Peter . For all of Peter’s dutiful attention to Rachel’s recovery-focused meal plan sent from Renley, he never comments on Joan’s consistent rejection of meals for a cup of coffee instead—a dynamic that is not lost on Rachel.
“It used to be very autobiographical,” says Feraud of the play’s roots in her own life. “Then I decided to switch gears, because while my experience was interesting to me, it was not the most dramatically potent.” So began the early makings of the production that is currently being run. “I noticed there are no plays about eating disorders,” Feraud continues.
The dramatic plot compels viewers to discuss how Feraud has distilled such a complicated topic into a 90-minute production. To encourage conversation, a key element of the production is the “talkbacks” that follow one performance per week. Organizations such as NEDA, the National Eating Disorders Association, lead discussions and answer audience questions on topics like how to help loved ones who may be struggling with disordered eating.
