  • A Pickle by Deborah Yarchun
    14 Feb. 2022
    “ The Jewish Plays Project recommends A PICKLE as a Semi-Finalist for the 11th annual Jewish Playwriting Contest. Our community of readers highly enjoyed how this play tied together tradition, food, and society so beautifully and appreciated the way this play expanded on something so seemingly simple to draw out larger issues of anti-Semitism and discrimination. A powerful piece for an actress. A PICKLE rose to the top 20 out of 250 plays and we hope this play swiftly finds opportunities to reach new audiences. ”
