Does time heal all wounds? If the past hurts, should one strive to forget it? The Stein family grapples with these questions in the resonant new play, 5 Jews in a Near Death Experience (That Shockingly Has Nothing to Do With Antisemitism!) by Rebecca Lynn Goldfarb.

This comedic drama tells the touching story about a family caught between the present and the past. As an upcoming Bat Mitzvah date approaches, these five individuals come to terms with how they each cope differently and face the reality of their shared trauma. At its heart, their journey reminds us all of the beauty and importance of family.
