PLAYS
THE GETT: OR HOW A WOMAN MADE HERSELF
2F, 2M
The Gett is a tale of the dirty and the divine, drawing on everything from the Torah to bad sex. It’s about the tacky menorah in your lobby behind the Christmas tree and the lover whose phone number you can’t forget and that voicemail from your mother you haven't listened to yet. Punctuated by magic and ritual, this play is a comedy of restoration as the poet, Ida, searches for her own protagonism.

THE MATRIARCHS
6F, 1 Voice
The Matriarchs are anything but. Six squabbling teenage girls at a Talmud lesson negotiate snacks and sex as they grow up and out of orthodoxy and meet the world with their questions. Loosely based on the underwritten women of the Torah and interviews with women wondering about fertility.
Developed with the Civilians R&D group
MOZART PLAY
4F, 2M
Everyone is dead. And in period costume. The three Weber sisters await the death of their youngest sister to begin their quest for Mozart. The women grapple with with their own personal hells until they find what they think they were looking for. Loosely adapted from The Magic Flute, this is an absurdist feminist treatment of traditional ideas of “genius."
Developed with Dal Cassetto Scripts,

THE OXFORD COMMA
2F, 2M
At a small private boys' school on the San Andreas Fault in California, the lines between friends and spouses — as well as teachers and students — start to blur, and everyone must decide what’s real and what isn’t. The Oxford Comma is a quantum play about love and earthquakes.
