#solestories is an experiment. An iteration. A play based on an Instagram account.

Roberta and Larry always try to do the right thing – for their son, for their marriage and especially for their synagogue. When they have the opportunity to help rescue a Holocaust Torah, they know they have to bring it to Temple Beth David.

Inspired by the true story of Rabbi Menachem Youlus, the self-dubbed “Jewish Indiana Jones,” this story explores how the Jewish community deals with, responds to, and heals from scandal. Winner of the 2014 Jewish Plays Project's Jewish Playwriting Contest. World premiere: Theater J (2015).

It’s late August 2001, and Larry’s Diner is packed with jangly parents and their poker-faced kids who are making their annual drives to the colleges and universities in southern New York State. Lou and Fran Petrillo, newcomers to this ritual, are smoothing the way for their daughter Jenn -- who's desperate to leave her blue-collar roots back in Buffalo and start living a life that neither of her parents can imagine. Also at Larry’s are Chuck Feldman and his youngest son Evan, the Petrillos’ wealthy neighbors. With his cell phone seemingly plastered to his ear, Chuck struggles to run his business without further alienating his the distant Evan—who sits directly across from him. Through it all, waitress Paula and short-order cook Peach serve and clean up after the people who cycle through the diner, knowing that with each passing year, their ability to leave their small New York town dwindle. As Jenn and Evan pick their way through an awkward and thorny goodbye, Fran and Chuck navigate uneasy emotional waters of their own. But it’s not until May 2002 when Lou and Fran discover how deeply Jenn’s freshman year at college has affected their lives, their marriage, and their world. SHORT ORDER STORIES is a time-shifting comic drama….a meditation on familial obligation, social class, friendship, and love. Winner of the 2007 Charles MacArthur Award for Outstanding New Play.
