A week before the High Holidays, three rabbis find themselves in a room fighting to save a family by building a bridge between orthodoxy and modernity. One of these rabbis is Chava,the child ofa dynastic Hasidic rabbinical family and destined to become a leader of the next generation before the revelation of her trans identityclashed explosively withthe strictly gendered world in which she was raised.As we jump through memory—and wrestle with theology—truths and secrets emerge that ensure no one will read the old stories the same way again.

Based on the critically acclaimed memoir by Abby Chava Stein, Becoming Eve is a remarkable playwriting debut from Emil Weinstein with direction by Tyne Rafaeli.

Becoming Eve will feature scenic design by Arnulfo Maldonado (Yellow Face), costume design by Enver Chakartash (Romeo + Juliet), lighting design by Ben Stanton (Maybe Happy Ending), sound design by UptownWorks – Daniela Hart, Noel Nichols & Bailey Trieweiler (Blood of the Lamb), puppet design by Amanda Villalobos (Wolf Play) and original music by Daniel Kluger (Oh, Mary!). Claire Yenson is the Casting Director and Jason Kaiser (Monsoon Wedding) will serve as Stage Manager.
