Rachel and Asher host their first Passover Seder at their new house, much to Rachel’s chagrin. But when Asher’s friends reveal a surprise Seder in the park, Rachel wants to stop it before there is any potential for a dangerous encounter. Desperate, she accepts the help of the Wicked Son, whose vile plan unleashes the ten plagues onto the house.

How far would someone go to run away from their identity? How can we balance trauma and joy? It Could Have Been Enough investigates what it means to be a Jewish young adult in 2022-2023.

What happens when there’s a knock on the door Nora slammed 15 years ago? Having left behind her domestic “prison” to become an independent self-actualized woman, Nora is now forced to return in order to finish what she started.

This workshop takes inspiration from Ashon Crawley's Lonely Letters and loss.nothing.memorial. Respectively, these works explore collectivity, loneliness, mourning and celebration. Altars Made, Altars Unmade sustains these themes, even as it embraces "sense experience." How can altar-making, as an embodied activity, rather than an empty routine or an amplification of dogma, provide a remedy to the numbness characterizing much of our present day?
