A Staged Reading directed by Jamie Winnick

347 West 36 Street between 8th and 9th Avenues.
After the death of her mother, Rachel Bergman realizes it's time to change a few things. The only problem is
that her father, Simcha, a former heavy-metal rocker turned Orthodox Jew, won't have it. As Rachel grapples
with her desire to become a writer and her budding homosexuality, she is forced to decide between her father or
coming out and moving on.
Through characters as diverse as an Orthodox Rabbi, a black Gender Studies Professor, and the ghostly
apparitions of Robert Plant and Virginia Woolf, To the Orchard explores themes of loss, guilt, and forgiveness
in a magically enhanced corner of modern-day Brooklyn.
