The Shomer Play World Premiere

The Shomer Play, written by AP Levine and directed by Caleb Barron, will make its world premiere at the New York Theater Festival this Winter. And YOU can help make it happen!

Miri Bornstein, a spirited Orthodox Jewish 20-something, is in full-on crisis mode. After the sudden death of her father, she’s desperately searching for someone to help her put the pieces of her chaotic life back together. Enter Jacob: charming, kind, and seemingly perfect – Miri thinks she’s hit the jackpot... well, almost.

In the heart of the Orthodox Jewish community, the strict practice of "Shomer Negiah" – literally "guard against touch" – means that while Miri can chat up Jacob all she wants this Passover, she can’t so much as give him a high five! Navigating this touchy situation is no small feat, especially when sparks fly.

Will Miri manage to find true love while staying true to her age-old traditions? Can she muster the inner strength to rediscover herself amidst the hilarious and heartwarming chaos of Passover? Join us for this unique and uproarious romantic comedy making its world premiere this winter!
