Press Reviews

"Three playlets that follow the lives of 9 people who become involved with sacred Jewish rituals in both humorous and intimate ways. ”Jenna Zark,…has bothered to look somewhere new—or so old it's new—for journeys by women we seldom get to know in the theater.“ —Newsday (NY). ”Zark draws the women with remarkable compassion and humor. This…play is as much about passionate love as it is about the need for rituals that give us a way to honor ourselves. And it's about independence of spirit, the dignity that small, private acts…bring to ordinary lives.“ —Variety. ”This is a writer of warm promise whose dialogue is true, humor sharp and characters honest."

— Hollywood Reporter
