Press Release: GOD BOX
GOD BOX
directed by Christine Hamel
APR 5-19/2015
Black Box Theater
When her daughter dies, Gloria Adelman discovers the unthinkable—that her daughter wasn’t a practicing Jew! Amid Buddhas and Bibles, Gloria searches for clues to her daughter’s religious beliefs in order to give her an appropriate funeral. GOD BOX is a hilarious and poignant tale of how faith is passed on, and what happens when it isn’t. Theater in the Now calls GOD BOX “a triumph of a solo piece. Antonia Lassar makes you smile and think about life, spirituality, and internal happiness.”
