Announcing Good Shabbos, a short experimental musical film project I have been working on for 2 years now, with the insanely talented Rachel J. Peters! Getting to collaborate on a new musical is truly a professional dream of mine, and getting to do it with Rachel is incredible. We are in pre-production now - check back here for more info and updates in the coming months!
Good Shabbos tells the story of a relationship dissolving between a wealthy Jewish doyenne and her queer, progressive, adult daughter, over the course of one Jewish calendar year, due to conflict over Zionism and homophobia. The audience learns of the mother/daughter dynamic and separation exclusively through the sung Shabbos voicemails the mother leaves to her child between 2 sets of Jewish high holidays. Each voicemail is a new, original song, with lyrics by me and music by Rachel.
