Freshwater Theatre returns to the Nimbus stage this March/April with the world premiere of If You Don’t Weaken by local playwright Jenna Zark, directed by Ariel Leaf!
Combining a pole dancer, crumbling synagogue, feisty friends, 1930s porn videos, a local Jewish day school, religious awakening…and a ghost, If You Don’t Weaken centers on a young woman’s quest to observe a year-long ritual of mourning for her grandfather.
