Our Major Project for the year is the Production of David A. Crespy’s new play:
“Beshert; Or, The Jewish Dating Cycle”
This staged reading means that no one needs to memorize his or her part. Our own Carol Battle will be the Associate Director, with the Playwright David A. Crespy providing his direction and guidance.
