It’s Shabbas. And six squabbling teenage girls at a weekly Talmud lesson negotiate snacks, sex, their souls and everything in between.

Loosely based on the underwritten women of the Torah, THE MATRIARCHS by Liba Vaynberg charts the journey of six friends as they grow up and out of the orthodoxy. This is a play about girls, gods, mothers, and others creators, for anyone and everyone who doesn’t always know what to believe in.

Performed by Rachel Botchan, Molly Carden, Helen Cespedes, Rebecca S’manga Frank, Arielle Goldman, Anna O’Donoghue, and Frankie Placidi.

Produced by: Anna & Kitty, Inc.
