Jewish Plays Project is thrilled that JEW VIBING was a Semi-Finalist for the 10th annual Jewish Plays Contest. Our Semi-Finalists went through a rigorous process in the summer & fall of 2020 where a community of readers searched for plays that spoke to them about Jewish identity in a way that’s bold and challenging, as well as theatrically innovative. After reading 250 plays, JEW VIBING rose to the top 20, and we hope that this play swiftly finds collaborators and opportunities to reach new audiences.

The sneaky thing about this play is that it's incredibly funny, so you don't realize at first that it's also a play with a big, beating heart at the center of it. The vignettes detailing the travails of online dating are sharply satirical, but the depth of Girl's desire for connection lends even the silliest jokes a great deal of emotional weight. And also funny, so funny, a very funny play.

A single girl trying to find the one is a trope we've definitely seen a lot of of screen and stage but you have to know it will be thrown on its head in the hands of Weingarten. What it means to be a single woman and be Jewish is put under the microscope in this hilarious collection of conversations. Weingarten's plays are absolute gifts to actors and audiences.
