Theater and Theology presents...

The Blessing of a Broken Heart

by Todd Salovey, based on the book by Sherri Mandell

In cooperation with The Koby Mandell Foundation

Shows are followed by a discussion about faith and doubt, grief and resilience, with Sherri and Seth Mandell

Sherri Mandell wrote a touching and inspiring book in the year after her son’s murder during the Second Intifada. Todd Salovey's play brings that year to life. Theater and Theology’s production adds an ensemble of four skilled performers who limn the experience and emotions of the character of Sherri by creating scenes and songs, and even set pieces and obstacles, with their voices and bodies in a powerful augmentation of the text. Audiences will find themselves deeply invested in Sherri’s fight to create meaning from tragedy

Seats are not numbered. The theater is small and intimate and all the seating is central
