    an Ensemble Studio Theatre Memberfest Play Reading
    directed by Abigail Zealy Bess

    - TRU Voices 2025 Play Reading Series - Semifinalist

    - Selected for The Best Men's Stage Monologues 2025
    Edited by Debbie Lamedman (Smith & Kraus)

    Kings Highway­ is inspired by recently discovered family history — my great aunt worked with the inventors of color television, and my great uncle worked for the Jewish mafia and was murdered by his mob boss.

    The story focuses on two strong and independent Jewish sisters finding their way in Brooklyn, as the 1939 World’s Fair is opening, and war is about to ignite across Europe. Through personal stories and the lens of history, the play looks at contemporary issues including anti-Semitism, homophobia, abortion, violence, and the bond between sisters.
