writing

Rebecca writes plays, comedy, and journalism. She's interested in finding the silly and the serious in each other, tight-knit communities, and questions about religion and culture. Her nonfiction often weaves reporting with cultural criticism and a strong first-person narrative. ​Her writing has been published in The Forward, The New Haven Independent, Alma, and HowlRound Theatre Commons. At Yale, Rebecca was awarded the James S. Metcalfe Prize for the best essay about theater.

 

Rebecca co-wrote the web series i'm so happy for you!!!!!! with Ihea Inyama and Charlotte Polk. Her play, Krav Maga in the Temple Basement Starting this Sunday, Bagels to Follow, is a finalist for the Jewish Plays Project and a semi-finalist for the O'Neill's NPC, the Terrence McNally New Play Incubator, and Premiere Stages at Kean University. Right now, she's writing a play about dogs on dialysis that's really about unconditional love and domestication.
