About the play

Isabel and Marilyn are mourning their recently deceased ‘third’ while Marilyn’s thirteen-year-old daughter holes up in her bedroom, communicating only by walkie-talkie. Isabel, living fast because her brain aneurysm means any moment could be her last, brings home a stranger to audition as the new third and pesters a grumpy, grieving rabbi to help her convert to Judaism. The secrets that surface test them all.

From the reviews

“In her new play, Cohn mines grief for love, life-affirming moments—and humor.”
