Playwriting
“In playwright Jenna Zark’s New York debut, a young Midwestern Jewish hairdresser, in marital and spiritual crisis, visits an Orthodox mikvah (or ritual bathhouse) and is counseled by a devout and apparently contented married woman whose belief in Jewish law leads to her own crisis. Zark has put theological matters to lively dramatic use.”
–John Lahr, The New Yorker

“A journey into the heart of the Beat Generation and the complexities of family relationships. Zark‘s writing is sensitive and highly engaging.”
