Norkin's The Replacement is a bite-size satire that uses humor to reveal the ridiculousness of extremism. This short play's use of comedic defiance, sharp humor, and a clever reveal offer a unique way to emphasize that community will always triumph over hate. A fun play with an important message.

A lovely, surprising and ultimately hopeful play about intergenerational connection in the midst of bigotry and hate. With gentle humor and enormous humanity, Norkin’s play shows what can be done when people step up to make change. Everyone needs a bubbie like Sylvia!

Jewish Plays Project congratulates and recommends THE REPLACEMENT as one of six Finalists for our first Ten Minute Play Contest OOF: On One Foot, which searched nationally for plays from artists of all backgrounds responding to our prompt on healing & repair. THE REPLACEMENT resonated strongly with our selection committee and audiences at the Festival of New Jewish Theatre, who appreciated its complex storytelling and how this short play theatrically expressed the theme of healing & repair.
