  • Jewish Plays Project: Serious by Dana Leslie Goldstein
    “

    Jewish Plays Project selected SERIOUS as a Semi-Finalist out of 270 plays in our 2nd Ten Minute Play Contest “On One Foot”, which searched nationally from artists of all backgrounds to respond to our prompt “Moving Forward at the Edge of the Unknown”. Our readers connected with the sweet, romantic humor while addressing the challenges of interpersonal relationships and the journey these two characters go on: he finds his way to joke, she gives herself space to be serious.
