NEW WORDS by Warren Hoffman, directed by Robin Eisenberg
David, a gay Jewish college student, is failing a course on Yiddish language, much to the chagrin of his Yiddish-speaking grandmother, Sylvia. Seeking help from Michael, his Orthodox Yiddish tutor; Alan, his Chinese-American best friend; and Marcia, the wacky operator at a Yiddish telephone help line, David finds his own life turning into a piece from the Yiddish theater as he struggles to find a way to bridge his gay and Jewish identities.
starring Nicole Blicher, Adam Deremer, Mindi Ginsberg, Brian Kurtas, and Conrad Ricamora
