Impact
A Play by Rebecca Lynn Goldfarb
Set against the backdrop of an upcoming Bat Mitzvah, this dramedy— based on a true story—unpacks the emotional layers of a family confronting a shared trauma. It’s a raw, real, and unexpectedly funny exploration of how we come together as a family, when it matters most.
This play has been accepted into multiple festivals, and has been selected for EgoActus’s Female Drama Series on Monday, October 6th at 7PM.
IMPACT has evolved since its first iteration in 2022, when it began as a performance thesis and was once titled, 5 Jews in a Near Death Experience.
Other Projects In Development:
From a one woman musical, to multiple period drama screenplays, multiple 10 minute plays, and a full length dark comedy play — Rebecca has several projects in development. Each inspired by real people and true events.
