SUMMARY:TRAYF by Lindsay Joelle - A Staged Reading
DESCRIPTION:Next Act Theatre presents a staged reading of the play TRAYF by Lindsay Joelle. This one-night only reading\, directed by Elyse Edelman\, tells the story of Zalmy who spends his days driving through 1990s New York City\, performing good deeds with his best friend Shmuel. This road-trip bromance is a funny and heartwarming ode to the turbulence of youth\, the universal suspicion that we don’t quite fit in\, and the faith and friends that see us through. \n
