MASHA! by Dan Kitrosser
Second Saturday Reading Series | FREE
Saturday, September 10 at 7pm
MASHA! is a poignant comedy about leaving, coming and staying home. Masha Kohner, a thirty-four year old Lebuvitch divorcee, spends her days tending to Yitta, her sometimes-delusional 98 year old great-grandmother, in their modest house in Monsey, New York. When Masha learns that she must have a double mastectomy due to an aggressive bout of breast cancer, she makes plans to go to Manhattan for the surgery to stay with her estranged lesbian sister, Yael. But Yael is no longer Yael. Yael is now Jerri and in the process of saving up money so that she too can have a mastectomy to become a him. MASHA! takes us from Monsey, to the East Village, even to Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, all in the hopes of finding wherever that may be.
